Mount Coolum, the Sunshine Coast's answer to Ilkley Moor.

I found a Jock hair on my t-shirt today :')

It was only 208m high... I said it was only little! Which was a blessing really, as it was already 27 degrees when I started climbing at 8.45am. It's true though that the climb was worth it as the view from the top was incredible. Unfortunately I couldn't sit and rest at the top as long as I'd have liked; there was a crow who obviously thought that this was his mountain and the longer I sat, the closer he edged, and the more angrily he crowed at me. Not wanting to upset him any further I made my way back down the rocky path and set off to find the bus stop which would take me back to Twin Waters.

Except there isn't one.

Which is why having a bus-stop at the entrance is quite misleading.

Luckily, a very nice bus-driver managed to give me a vague direction to walk in once he'd dropped me the closest to Twin Waters his route would allow...
"Do you go to Twin Waters?"
"No"
"Well, do you go anywhere near Twin Waters?"
"Errr"
Thankfully, my feet are quite good at finding home and without too much hassle I made it back.
Well it was sort of an adventure!

Very warm after the walk back I had my 'first' swim - no snakes in sight :)
