| I would consider myself a novice at climbing big rocky lumps although I have come across some challenging climbs and I would not consider MT Coolum to be one of them. IT serves more as an exercise routine for locals more than it does a weekend climb and tourist attraction for travelers. It is a great walk to start on if your not very confident and Kids will find it an amazing experience. I personally was a little disappointed as I reached the top to receive my reward, even though I did appreciate the spanning coast line that was on offer, intensified by the all embracing body of blue water that kissed the shoreline, I was mocked by my preconceptions when my eyes passed over the all encompassing seascape to find an ensemble of white roof tops. I was being a little ambitious and possibly a little sanctimonious, expecting an all natural canvas but I have seen better views from balconies. It is a nice little adventure for a weekend and should not take you more than 60 minutes to tackle the whole thing. |
