After an early morning hike to the peak of Mount Mitchell, we were met with a spectacular sunrise & unparalleled 360 degree views. Mount Mitchell (Aboriginal: Cooyinnirra) is a twin-peaked volcanic mountain with an elevation above sea level of 1,168 metres (3,832 ft), located in the Main Range, is about 100 kilometres (62 miles) west of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia and immediately south of Cunninghams Gap. The peak to the south of the gap was named by Allan Cunningham in 1828 and today is part of the Main Range National Park. Cunningham named the mountain after the Surveyor-General, Thomas Mitchell. To the north of Cunninghams Gap is Mount Cordeaux, while Spicers Peak is located a small distance to the south east. A trail, classified as grade 4, traverses 5.1 kilometres (3.2 mi) through woodland, rainforest and montane heath up to the main summit, which offers unparalleled 360 degree views. From the peak on a clear day the tallest buildings in the Brisbane CBD can be seen, as can the D Aguilar Range, Teviot Range, Fassifern Valley and many other parts of the Scenic Rim like Mount Maroon, Mount Lindsay, Mount Barney and Mount Ballow. At the top of mountain you will eventually end up on a knife-edge ridge above sheer cliffs on the East Peak (1175m). Our group were the only people on the mountain on this morning.
