Mt Barney area
Seen from the glider. The flat topped mountain is Mt Lindsay with, to the right of it, the East and West peaks of Mt Barney. This is a fabulous area for bushwalking* where, long long ago, I used to spend enjoyable weekends doing just that. There is a closer view of these peaks in a note.
These mountains are part of what is called the Scenic Rim, an arc of ranges and peaks of volcanic origin, to the south and west of Brisbane. Much of it is National Park. The volcano that created the ranges was a 'shield volcano' that fizzed away 24M years ago. Shield volcanos spread very fluid lava far and wide and, although this one was centred near Mt Barney, that peak developed a little later as a granitic intrusion that never quite broke the surface - the surrounding softer lava and sandstone has eroded away to leave it protruding. Those of you with a geological interest should find this item from the Queensland Geological Society interesting: qld.gsa.org.au/Barneyv5.pdf
* (depending where you are, known as hiking / trekking / tramping). Explored.

Obiettivo & Fotocamera
My one glider flight was magic ... the wind sounds of course, and occasional bird calls, but so quiet and peaceful. Never to be forgotten.
