This is the majestic Mt Kiliminjaro. I was pretty lucky to get this photo as the majority of the time the mountain is completely obscured by clouds.
We came quite close to climbing Mt Kiliminjaro. By quite close I mean we played pool with some Americans that had just returned from climbing her.
Andy & I hike up a mountain - you've gotta be kidding. That would take way too much energy!

Mt Flume as seen from Mt Liberty. We had entertained thoughts of also hiking over to Mt Flume that day, but we're glad to just have gone up Liberty that day.
This image was taken in the Glasshouse Mountains in QLD, Australia It is part of the Blackall Range.
The first inhabitants of the area were the Aboriginal people of the Gubbi Gubbi language group, which consisted of a number of tribes including the Nalbo, Gubbi Gubbi, Dallambara and Undanbi.
For perhaps as many as 20,000 years they hunted the ranges, fished the rivers and gathered seafood from the ocean. The burning of the countryside at appropriate times was a regular practice. Every third year, hundreds of Aboriginal people travelled to the Blackall Range for feasting on bunya nuts, exchanging goods, initiation ceremonies, organising fights, performing corroborees and unifying their culture.
The Aboriginal people had no central government. The basic unit of society was the clan of perhaps seventy people, owning their homeland and governing themselves. A “tribe” was a group of clans who spoke a common language or dialect, and considered themselves to be part of a distinct cultural or ceremonial group, but who did not acknowledge a common leader, e.g. the Gubbi Gubbi language group included the Nalbo, Gubbi Gubbi, Dallambara and Undanbi tribes.
By the time Europeans came to the Sunshine Coast, the tribes had formal distinct territories with clearly defined boundaries. Tribal boundaries were often marked by scarred trees along the sides of the pathways. There was a network of Aboriginal pathways across the Sunshine Coast - the main one ran from Beerburrum to Cooran and the North Coast Railway line was later built alongside it. Undanbi territory lay to the East and Nalbo to the west of the pathway.
With the coming of Europeans, the local Aboriginal people could no longer pursue their nomadic way of life and progressively lost the use of their resource areas. In 1897, legislation was passed which legalised the removal of Aboriginal people from white settlements. Many of those living in the Maroochy area were resettled on Fraser Island, and later taken to a reserve at Cherbourg.
