Glass Mountains

In the same area as Australia Zoo are the Glass Mountains. Similar to Mt. Warning, these were all formed from a shield volcano billions of years ago! They are the remaining 'plugs' that formed when the lava was spreading (or something like that... :) ) They were really interesting to see, and we hiked/climbed up to the top of the highest one called Mt. Beerwah. This is the only time I have ever come across a walk that has the following sign, and actually means it: "Steep climb - only for fit and experienced hikers"


















It was great fun, but you wouldn't want to attempt it if you didn't like heights!
