The Glasshouse Mountains…

The Glasshouse Mountains rise majestically out of the Australian Bush in the hinterland of Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

Spectacularly beautiful, they stand tall and proud overlooking the coastal plain down to Moreton Bay.

The walk to the top of Mt Ngungun rewards you with a wonderful view of Mt Tibrogargan, the monkey mountain as we have always known it, and Mt Beerwah.

And now that we can travel into Queensland from the beginning of December we will not be wasting any time in heading north to visit family we haven’t seen in almost a year due to COID-19 restrictions, and as a bonus we will be staying close by to the Glasshouse Mountains and will be sure to visit.

About us…

We love the colours of the Australian Outback, the red earth touching a blue sky on a faraway horizon; and the fabulous coastline of our sunburnt country, where a golden sandy beach is washed over by a warm turquoise blue sea…

A few years ago we graduated from work and re-entered the classroom of life where an education is guaranteed and all that is needed is an open mind.

Cheers, Baz & Janet

Craggy Peaks and Golden Sunsets…

Glasshouse Mountains

During a trip to southern Queensland over the past two weeks I have been able to view the magnificent Glasshouse Mountains from a couple of different perspectives…

From the top of Mt Ngungun (pronounced “Noo Noo”) and from the beach on Moreton Island as the sun slipped below the western horizon, casting a wonderful golden glow over Moreton Bay and providing a beautiful silhouette to Mt Tibrogargan and Mt Beerwah…

Inhabited by Australia’s first people for thousands of years the craggy peaks that stand tall over the region are so significant that they are listed as a “landscape of national significance”…

And hey, what a wonderful backdrop for two pelicans as they glided off into the sunset.

Strewth, you wouldn’t be dead for quids, hey…!

The Glasshouse Mountains…

Climbing to the top of Mt Ngungun on a crisp winter’s morning rewarded me with a magnificent view of Mt Tibrogargan and Mt Beerwah.

In the language of the Gubbi Gubbi people, Ngungun means “faces” and  is pronounced “Noo Noo”…
