Emu Mountain is a great little national park just north of Coolum where we spent the weekend. It has some interesting walking tracks which we’ve done with the kids before, but this time I felt like exploring it on my bike.
I didn’t intend to ride up it, but when I saw the gnarly tracks heading up the hill, I couldn’t resist.
The cllimb wasn’t as difficult as I thought it would be, and (as always) the view was fantastic. This view is looking south back down to Coolum where we were staying.
As you can see, a lot of the land in the area is forest – right by the sea, and quite unspoilt.
Eventually I rolled back down the gnarly hills and stopped briefly on the beach at Stumers Creek.
A beautiful finish to a wonderful weekend!

As you might expect I’m proud to say – I’ve been up there and around the tracks. On foot at least.
Good one, Russel. Top spot, isn’t it?
