Mt Coochin's twin peaks

 

Coochin is one of those lesser Glass House peaks. Actually, twin peaks. 


In fact, the hardest bit was finding the entrance to the car park. It's tucked away a bit, and looks like a private driveway. It's just south of Beerwah, on the Old Gympie Rd.

Ngungun on a quieter day

 

Mt Ngungun is the one arrowed in this Glass House panorama I took later from Mt Coochin to the north.

 

I'd attempted to climb it a few weeks ago but had been defeated, not by any arduousness of the climb (there isn't really much), but by the enormous crowds of Sunday walkers there, and the consequent near impossibility of parking close to the start!

First thing this weekday morning was much more conducive. Just a handful of before-work fitness types. And me.

Mt Beerwah, the biggest of them, and in front of it, Mt Coonowrin. The latter is unclimbable except by rock climbers with all the gear.
