Glorious Point Glorious!

 

 

How glorious is glorious? It's pretty good anyway!

There was a healthy and enthusiastic turnout for the Sunshine Coast Bushwalking Club's expedition to Point Glorious in Mapleton National Park, north west of Yandina, the other day.

A somewhat muddy patch at the start was soon left behind, and mostly we experienced perfect bushwalking conditions, trackwise  and weatherwise. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Some of the early ups were a fraction taxing, but the group recovered in style with a very leisurely morning tea. During this I sighted a record number (for me) of comfy chairs being unfurled!

 
Before too long we'd gained a bit over 300m in altitude, and assembled at the Point Glorious lookout, for the superb views across to Mt Eerwah to the north east, and several other peaks further off to the north and north west.

Then down via a different fire trail, past a sad looking mystery object: not one of our cars fortunately - an abandoned vehicle that may or may not have a dark secret attached.
