Coolum

A Cool Walk

22 October 2000

After meeting outside the Ettamogah Pub we drove on to Mt Coolum. The ascent is a wide track with good views to the sea and surrounding areas. Coolum is only 207 metres high but we all had a rest at the top and watched as a butcher bird fed with its morsel of food jammed in a tree notch.

Steve knew the area well and instead of retracing our steps, we were able to go down a different way to see more of the countryside. A stop at Coolum Beach where Konrad and Jodi had a swim and then off to Mt Tinbeerwah where Steve showed us the abseiling cliffs. The views were great and it made a suitable lunch stop.

The hardest walk was left for after lunch. We drove to Mt Cooroora and began the steep climb up. We could only marvel at the fitness of the people who do this “King of the Mountain” run. After a short stop to take photos we headed back down and made our way home.

Many thanks to Steve for this enjoyable walk.  Richard
