Mt Cordeaux, with an accessible carpark just off the Cunningham Highway, approx. 1.5 hrs SW of Brisbane. With a choice of Mt Cordeaux or Mt Mitchell (post coming soon from a separate hike). Early rise, 3am. Sunny day and windy. Hiking with a friend. 5am start, perfect for a sunrise. A bit of slushy mud, but fairly easy going. From the carpark to the peak and across to Bare Rock a return journey of little less than 14kms.
As we ascended the wind was pressing, clouds rolling in. Watching them beneath us was quite a surreal experience, with the odd vista of the valley and rising sun peaking through.
Canon A1, Sigma 28mm f/2.8, Kodak Gold 200 (at +1).
From the first lookout point.
