Glass House Mountains National Park

Named by Lieutenant Cook in 1770, the 'Glass Houses' are distinctive volcanic plugs rising abruptly from a patchwork of farms and forests. The park is made up of several sections that include most of the peaks and forest areas. The Glass House Mountains are spiritually significant to the local Aboriginal people.

Drive to the Glass House Mountains lookout for a great view of the peaks. Within the park's sections there are eight walking tracks ranging from 25 minutes to three hours, and catering to all levels of experience. Fit walkers with rockclimbing skills can reach the summits of Mounts Tibrogargan, Ngungun or Beerwah. Suitably equipped, experienced rock climbers can climb and abseil Mount Ngungun.
