Climb Every Mountain

Nice view isn't it? As the school holidays are upon us, in an effort to keep the boys occupied, they get to have some "sleep over" time at Grandma's and Grandpa's house. Today, I drove Aidan and Ethan up to Noosa so we could let Aidan have his time up there. This was a rapid trip and drop off, in an effort to not let Aidan get too upset about being left alone there. He still wanted to know if we would sleep over.

On the way back from Noosa, I decided that we would stop at Wild Horse Mountain. It was originally named for the Brumbies that inhabited the area. It is comparatively small, at only 123 meters above sea level, and is currently used as a fire spotting tower. The good thing for us was it was a 700m walk up to the top. From the top, you get a great view over the Glass House Mountains. That's where these panorama shots come from. The area was first named by Captain James Cook, most notable for the claim of discovering Australia. In this case, most of the mountains in the group, like Mount Tibrogargan, were named by the original Aboriginal inhabitants.


Ethan and I ended up having quite a long day together. On the way up to, and back from Noosa he tried to convince me that Anth had told him we were going to Movie World today. So when we got home, and we asked her if we could actually go, she succumbed and said yes. I even managed to get him to go on the Scooby Doo Spooky Coaster, which previously he had been quite scared of. Its not quite the same pursuit as climbing mountains, but it did us for the day!

Ciao for Now, Vunderbar Angry Dad.
