  "Why is Mt Coot-tha special?" – someone from out of town might ask. To the First Nations People it was a place to collect honey produced by the native stingless bee. For TV presenters, it is the HQ of television towers, sending constant signals across Brisbane. Avid bike riders look upon it as a challenge as teams of lycra ascend the mountain each morning punishing themselves with that leg burn. But for most, it is the closest mountain to the Brisbane CBD offering a panoramic view of the city, ways to spend a day and the perfect spot for a picnic. Transport yourself to the western suburbs of Brisbane for an Mt Coot-tha expedition of bush walks, fantastic scenery, gardens galore, and maybe even a ghost or two – let’s see what it becomes to you. As the closest elevation point to the Brisbane CBD, Mt Coot-tha is the place to go to take in a panoramic view of Brisbane and get glimpses of the surrounding region of Moreton Bay. As you walk the length of the observation deck, you can read a historic timeline of this iconic destination before popping a gold coin in one of the telescopes for a closer look at the suburbs below. Head there at sunrise to see the city radiate in a golden glow as day breaks, go by day for the picturesque backdrop or visit at night for a romantic fairyland of glittering city lights and starry skies. Queensland’s largest planetarium is within your grasp, located in the Botanic Gardens at the bottom of Mt Coot-tha. Attend a show in the Cosmic Skydome to take a tour of Brisbane’s current night sky or visit the display zone to take an astronomical journey from the present-day solar system to the time of the Big Bang. Some special shows are ticketed. Source: www.visitbrisbane.com.au/information/articles/activities/...
