Website | EmailSo named because James Cook believed them to look like the glass-making foundries of his hometown in Yorkshire, England, these impressive peaks stand as guardians to the Gympie Valley region beyond. Of the 13 peaks, only Mount Ngungun has a leisurely climb to the top, although there are many wonderful lookouts from which to enjoy the panoramas. For the more adventurous, the difficult climb to the top of Mounts Tibrogargan and Beerwah is arduous, but well worth the effort. The townships of Beeburrum and Beerwah encapsulate the beauty and pace of this luscious part of the Hinterland.
