  • The Glass House Mountains
    The Glass House Mountains Jutting into the air like shards of glass, the Glass House Mountains form a distinctive backdrop to the Sunshine Coast. This stunningly volcanic landscape holds a special significance in Indigenous legend and culture, with each of the mountains representing a member of a family, and their spirits dominating the area. Although climbing many of the mountains is only for the experienced, there are a number of easy to moderate tracks in the area accessible to a wider range of walkers. The circuit around Mount Tibrogargan passes through shady forest, and offers the chance to learn about, and view, several of the other mountains. The short hike up Wild Horse Mountain is rewarded with expansive views. For something a bit different, the Soldier’s Walk at Beerburrum explores the history of the town as a settlement area for retired soldiers, while Ewen Maddock Dam is a peaceful haven for bird and nature lovers with a walk that takes in lakes and forest. 141 27 Ewen Maddock 27 Ewen Maddock Dam Walk directions Dam Start at the dam-side 1 car park where there are picnic benches, toilets, The sounds of wind rustling in gum a BBQ and a children’s trees and melodic birdsong follow At a glance play park.

  • Australian Nuts Over South Africa's
    When Kerry Smerdon first bought his 100-acre property in Queensland's Glass House Mountains in 1992, it was home to pineapples, avocados and a plethora of fruits used for nursery cuttings including jackfruit, blueberries and litchis. On the hills were a few macadamia trees but the amount was "bugger all". Much has changed since then. The native nut now occupies almost half the farm Smerdon's property with Mount Coonowrin (also known as Crookneck) in the background. near Mount Coonowrin with more plantings set to replace remaining avocado trees that survived the 2011-12 floods, complementing 15 acres of another high value crop, custard apples (cherimoyas). "Going back when we first planted them [macadamias] nine years ago there was an oversupply and there wasn't a really good marketing campaign put forward for the supply of the nuts," Smerdon says. "There's been a bit of a shortage in the last couple of years which has pushed the price up and there have been exports to China starting up, nut-in-shell, and that's helped out. "There's also been a better overall marketing campaign of marketing Australian nuts over South Africa's. Prices went from AUD$1.60 (US$1.39) a kilo (2.2lbs) up to AUD$3.40 (US$2.97) a kilo this year." Even though the property's first large-scale macadamia trees were planted almost a decade ago, they are still considered to be young with a wait of 3.5-6 years from the grafting of seedlings to the first harvest, depending on the variety.
