Glasshouse Mountains and Lamington National Park

We've wanted to check out these mountains for years and finally we were there.

They are unusual and were named by James Cook as they reminded him of the glass houses chimneys from his home in England.











The climb to the lookout is very, very steep. Favourite spot for tourists.


















Mt Coonowrin








Lamington National Park has also been on the to do list for many years. I had a cassette tape with birdsong from this park. I loved it and used it with my junior primary classes for relaxation exercises. Robert hated it!


A different rainforest - another special place.

On entering the park, Robert spotted a paddymelon. That made his day although his Skippy impersonations leave much to be desired. He's starting to understand that not all animals or birds are going to jump, hop or fly to him when he makes funny noises.
