Our Queensland trip got extended a bit… things changed, we loved exploring a new place without the long haul flight. Here’s a roundup, don’t mind my blabbering.
At Frog we found bombproof rhyolite crack lines divine
Stuff any body part, or gear in them, and you will be fine
Down your eyes as you push through grass trees
If someone yells ‘ROCK’ run for cover, put your head between your knees
A little further north, The Glasshouse Mountains we found
Celestial and Clemency walls had it all, multi-pitch trad routes abound
They are on Mt Tibrogargan, Tibro for short
Whilst you are there do visit the caves and Slider, if you seek sport
Just up from the beach, Mt Coolum sits proud
Here knee bars, butt scums and body tetris is the way around
You’ll either love it or hate it, I had a ball
Be sure to savour Screaming Insanity, Wholly Calamity, Spoonman, Chevy and The Call
Up, up, further north to Brooyar we went
there Coco Pops, The Great Devoid, Little Wednesday were sent
The sandstone is coarse, gritty at best
Toby Saunders rates the Black Stump and Eagles Nest
Whilst at Cooroora we ogled at rubble brought down by the rain
We sampled two routes, a lichenous slab, an airy arête, both awesomely insane
Up the road from Cooroy, round the back of beyond, just near JJ’s freehold
Poignantly sits, Mt Tinbeerwah, slabs kitted with rap stations and bolts, I am told
Last there is Serpent a trudge up the hill
Be sure to climb Minotaur (17) a crag classic if you will
Do turn around to savour the scenery
Susy G says watch out for snakes that hide in the greenery
Then we were gone….Goodbye to Sir Coolum you kept to your name
I worked out some semantics (thanks JJ) of how to play your body contorting game
Goodbye Tassie Dave who elbow jammed the Smoked Banana in a white shirt
And likewise to crust eating Joel, Mary, Babsi, Tash, Gemma, Leon and Geiske in her sexy skirt
I’m pointing my finger in search of a conviction
Its JJ and Rob who are to blame for re-igniting my chilli addition
Coco had fun camping, making new friends and stringing bead necklaces
At Noosa she met up with her uncles and she put a big smile on their faces
But mostly she wants to say thank you to Sandra, a big hug and a kiss go to you
For making her a Red Phoenix Emporium silk dress, complete with green buttons and a pink bow too
Also huge thanks go to Donna who made Coco a doll and rescued her ballet tights from a whopping great hole
There is so much left to do so next when I’m back I’ll have a new tick list
The Trousers, Devils Dihedral, Child in Time, Evil and The Beast from the East
So now sunny Queensland I bid you adieu
thanks for the memories, blue skies, custard tarts and also the flu.
Monique there is no end to your talents 🙂 It was so great to get to know you. I’m looking forward to more great times in the future 🙂
