Mt Tibberoowuccum (Glass House Mountains National Park) |
17 Aug, 2016 |
Medium |
1.7km return 1 hr |

| A little tricky to find - look for the small '212' sign about a few hundred metres west of the Trachyte Circuit overflow carpark (not the Tibrogargan car park (just about opposite the large newish house). There is a 4WD trail here - follow it, and it will head uphill and eventually curve right . Keep an eye out for a pile of stones on the left 60 metres or so after the curve, the trail for the summit starts here. It's not super defined but it is fairly clear. You'll come across a second pile of stones in a few hundred metres so you know you're on your way. Not a particularly hard climb - the Beerburrum path is physically more demanding - but there is a little bit of rock climbing to be done at the end, but nothing too hard. The descent from the peak looks a little scary on first look but you have a couple of alternative routes to get down, I'd suggest the loose rock and gravel of the path further down is more hazardous. | ||||

Mount Coolum (Sunshine Coast) |

2.6km return 90 mins |

| Did the east route, pretty much as everyone described. Not super steep (Mt Beerburrum is more of a work out) but be wary of wet rocks on your descent as it is very slippy. If you're reasonably fit 15 minutes would be easy. | ||||

Mount Beerburrum (Glass House Mountains National Park) |

| Steep relentless 700 metres up a paved path. Gets very slippy on the way down and be super-careful of leaves, not that I'd know anything about that from a few years ago. | ||||

| Yes, it's that lookout near the Shell servo that every time you head up to the Sunshine Coast you think "I must stop there some day". Pretty short walk with some steepness (it's no Beerburrum), but great views west into the rest of the Glasshouse complex and up and down the coast, plus the highway. Worth the stop. | ||||
