Wild Horse Mountain
Mount Coochin Twin Peaks
We headed off to the beautiful Sunshine Coast to delve once again into the Glass house Mountains.
Catching daybreak at the Wild Horse Mountain fire tower lookout.
We then detoured on our way to Mount Coochin via an ancient Aboriginal Bora Ring.
A Bora Ring was a place of celebration ,dancing and a tribal meeting place for the local Aboriginals.
We are very privileged that this place has been preserved for us to wonder and enjoy.
After our detour we tackle the twin peaks of Mount Coochin. A pleasant and very scenic day for sure!
Enjoy -Gizmo

The Glass House Mountains are a group of thirteen hills that rise abruptly from the coastal plain on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. The highest hill is Mount Beerwah at 556 meters above sea level, but the most identifiable of all the hills are Mount Tibrogargan, 364 metres, which from some directions appears to be a face staring out to sea.
Mount Ngungun, 253 metres consists of sub-volcanic rock, also known as a hypabyssal rock, an intrusive rock emplaced at medium-to-shallow depths within the crust and has intermediate grain size, and often porphyritic texture between that of volcanic and plutonic rocks.
Mount Ngungun and the Glass House Mountains are located near Beerburrum State Forest and Old Gympie Road. From Brisbane, follow the Bruce Highway north, take the Glass House Mountains tourist drive turn-off and follow the signs to the Glass House Mountains. The trip is about one hour and eleven minutes from Brisbane.
The Volcanic peaks of the Glass House Mountains rise dramatically from the surrounding Sunshine Coast landscape. They were formed by intrusive plugs, remnants of volcanic activity that occurred 26, 27 million years ago. Molten rock filled small vents or intruded as bodies beneath the surface and solidified into land rocks. Millions of years of erosion have removed the surrounding exteriors of volcanic cores and softer sandstone rock.
Whilst the traditional names for the hills themselves are very old, the term 'Glasshouse Mountains' was given more recently by explorer Captain James Cook on 17 May 1770. The peaks reminded him of the glass furnaces in his home county of Yorkshire. Matthew Flinders explored the area and climbed Mount Beerburrum after sailing along Pumicestone Passage in 1799. The Glass House Mountains National Landscape was added to the Australian National Heritage List on 3 August 2006. In the land between the peaks, pineapple and poultry farming, as well as commercial forestry and quarrying are the main land uses.
In 2009 as part of the Queensland 150th celebrations, the Glass House Mountains was announced as one of the Q150 Icons of Queensland for its role as a Natural attraction.
The range was formed as molten lava cooled to form hard rock in the cores of volcanoes 26-27 million years ago. The source of the lava was from the East Australian hotspot. The cores of the hills contain columns of comendite from lava which cools quickly into a hard rock. The surrounding softer rocks have been eroded in the subsequent time, forming the spectacular volcanic plugs that remain today. The peaks' location relative to each other exhibits an alignment that is believed to have occurred due to fracturing. Similar to what is currently occurring now in Hawaii.
Each of the peaks is protected within the Glass House Mountains National Park. Some of the peaks display vertical columns, particularly Mount Coonowrin, 377 metres, Mount Ngungun, 253 metres and Mount Beerwah, 555 metres at the Organ Pipes. These columns are the result of lava contraction. Scattered throughout the hills are shallow caves which have been formed by wind erosion on rocks that were softened by groundwater. The peaks are culturally significant to the traditional owners, the Gubbi Gubbi people. Under a native title claim, access to the peaks could be restricted as they are considered spiritual places. To the south-east of the Glass House Mountains, the township is an Aboriginal bora ring. The names of each mountain in the range are:
Mount Beerburrum 278 metres
Mount Beerwah 556 metres
Mount Coochin 235 metres
Mount Coonowrin or Crookneck or Fake big 377 metres
Mount Elimbah or The Saddleback 129 metres
Mount Ngungun 253 metres
Mount Tibberoowuccum 220 metres
Mount Tibrogargan 364 metres
Mount Tunbubudla or the Twins 312 and 293 metres
Wild Horse Mountain or Round Mountain 123 metres
Mount Miketeebumulgrai 199 metres

Craggy peaks tower over a scenic patchwork of pine plantations, bushland and cultivated fields. Many of the peaks are protected in Glass House Mountains National Park.
Named by Lieutenant James Cook during his epic voyage along Australia's east coast, the Glass House Mountains are intrusive plugs formed by volcanic activity millions of years ago.
Remnants of the open eucalypt woodland and heath vegetation provide a home for an interesting variety of animals and plants, including 26 plant species of conservation significance. Discover more about the park’s plants by purchasing a copy of the 'Ranger field guide: Native plants of Glass House Mountains National Park'.
The Glass House Mountains area was a special meeting place where many Aboriginal people gathered for ceremonies and trading. This place is considered spiritually significant with many ceremonial sites still present and protected today.

When the big kids get to play in the mud ????
Getting stuck is the easy part, getting out is much harder - especially when your winch rope snaps...
Too busy helping the boys get out that I didn't get to film the rescue - but we snatched ourselves out and loved every minute!

Apparently, SO I HAVE HEARD, this is one of the best Glass House Mountain climbs!!!
Crookneck Mountain (Mount Coonowrin)
This is Crookneck Mountain, also known as Mount Coonowrin, which stands with an elevation of 377 metres.
Located on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, this mountain makes for a sensational and challenging climb. And the reward for effort pays dividends of 360 degree views of the Glass House Mountains!
Only very experienced and fit climbers should attempt this mountain and according to this sign, entry is by permit.

Mount Tibberoowuccum Summit - The Glass House Mountains | Sunshine Coast Hinterland
Laying amongst the ever popular Mt. Tibrogargan, Ngungun and Beerwah - Mt. Tibberoowuccum is somewhat considered off the beaten track. This 220m mountain although by far not the highest of the Glasshouse Mountains, its views rate 10:1. With 360 degree views of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland including, Mt. Tibrogargan, Ngungun, Coonowrin, Beerwah, Beerburrum and Tunbubudla; it is definitely something to witness yourself.
Although not difficult to climb, finding the best route is difficult without good directions; the best and most useful directions I found were written by Petra Frieser of Pebbles & Pomegranate Seeds | Found easiest by Googling; Tibberoowuccum+Pebbles and Pomegranate

Glass House Mountains in 360
#visitsunshinecoast They're one of the most quintessential landmarks on the Sunshine Coast - eleven peaks that rise dramatically from the coastal plains. Their beauty caught the attention of Captain James Cook in 1770 who named them the Glass House Mountains because they reminded him of glass furnaces back in Yorkshire. Formed over 26 million years ago, these volcanic plugs are spiritually significant to the local Aboriginal people and are listed on the Queensland and National Heritage Registers as a landscape of national significance. The peaks are known as Mount Beerburrum, Mount Beerwah, Mount Coochin, Mount Coonowrin (Crookneck), Mount Elimbah (The Saddleback), Mount Ngungun, Mount Tibberoowuccum, Mount Tibrogargan, Mount Tunbubudla (The Twins), Wild Horse Mountain (Round Mountain) and Mount Miketeebumulgrai. Remnants of open eucalypt woodland and heath vegetation can be found in the park which is home to a variety of animals and plants. For great views, head to the lookout in Beerburrum State Forest or take on one of the peaks. There are a range of walking trails, ranging in difficulty, that can be found in various locations throughout the National Park. The summit routes on Mounts Ngungun and Tibrogargan are also suitable for roped sports for experienced and well-equipped climbers.
