Mt Cordeaux, Sunrise Hike.

Mt Cordeaux, with an accessible carpark just off the Cunningham Highway, approx. 1.5 hrs SW of Brisbane. With a choice of Mt Cordeaux or Mt Mitchell (post coming soon from a separate hike). Early rise, 3am. Sunny day and windy. Hiking with a friend. 5am start, perfect for a sunrise. A bit of slushy mud, but fairly easy going. From the carpark to the peak and across to Bare Rock a return journey of little less than 14kms.

As we ascended the wind was pressing, clouds rolling in. Watching them beneath us was quite a surreal experience, with the odd vista of the valley and rising sun peaking through.

Adventure time.

They say that those who haven't travelled have only read one page. I've read a few of this one. 

Picked up for a few bucks from a  thrift expo, I started reading it a while ago. Curious. South America, from what I've read and learnt about it's ancient history and modern cultures (partly unchanged). Sparking interest. For about 13 years I've enjoyed rock climbing on the Sunshine Coasts Glasshouse Mountain range. Adventure seeking adrenaline pumping. More mountaineering than climbing and such rare untouched natural landscapes, I look forward to visiting some item hopefully in the not-too distant future.

People, history, culture.
