A few weekends back, I went bushing to Mt Tibrogargan with my Dad and siblings. As children, we often visted the Glasshouse Mountains.For those of you who don’t know much about the area, here’s a quick excerpt from Wikipedia:
“Mount Tibrogargan is one of the many mountains in the Glass House Mountains National Park, north-northwest of Brisbane, Australia. It is a volcanic plug of hard alkali rhyolite that squeezed up into the vents of an ancient volcano 27 million years ago.
In the mythology of the region, Tibrogargan was the father of all the other Glass House Mountains except Beerwah, his wife. It was said that Tibrogargan saw a rising of the waters from the sea, and called to his son Coonowrin to take his mother Beerwah to a safe place; however, Coonowrin failed to do so, and in anger Tibrogargan clubbed Coonowrin and broke his neck.“

Throughout the bushwalk, there were heaps of beautiful opportunities for photographs. Here are a couple of my favourites.

A gorgeous caterpillar we spotted in a tree!
Lunch break!!
I couldn’t make a post about Mt Tibrogargan without posting a photograph of the actual mountain. They used to say that it looked like a gorilla – can you see the resemblance? Having said that, lots of bits and pieces have eroded haha.
We had a wonderful day bush walking with my Dad!
Nice.
