Roadtrip Caloundra QLD to Warwick QLD

I left Sydney 9 days ago to go to a rock n roll festival Cooly Rocks On held in Coolangatta Queensland. I won’t go into that here much yet except to say I spent 3 days at the festival, then drove to Caloundra, the Glass House Mountains and then drove from Caloundra to Warwick today. I have been to various things in Queensland many times but I have never travelled this part of Australia the way I am today, as a “real” traveller. Queensland is such a pretty state and there are quirky and beautiful sites all along the way. I will just pop a few in here.

The hinterland has the Glass House Mountains which are made up of 7 mountains which, from a distance, they look like they are lined up in a row but they are actually the rim of a very old volcano. My school friend Toni Nosworthy took me to a lovely Cafe Mount View Cafe to see the lovely view. However, you decide which is the better view. The first photo is one in the distance of all 7 mountains, and then there is the view from Toni’s verandah.

I stopped at Kilcoy in the Queensland hinterland because I heard of Aboriginal folklore of a Yowie. The Australian equivalent of a Yeti or Big Foot. Yowie Park has its own Yowie statue
