Mt Coolum - not for keeping cool on!

It was a rather warm sunny day, so I turned up early for my assault on that amazing Queensland icon, Mt Coolum.

Seems like it's every Queenslander's duty to scale the dizzy heights every once in a while (all 208 metres of them!) Half of Queensland was doing it that day. The signs say it'll take you one hour each way. It actually took 17 minutes.

You do get rather hot and sweaty though, and you do feel a little bit proud of yourself. And the views down the coast are excellent!
