One of Brisbane’s most famous picnic spots, Jollys Lookout in D’Aguilar National Park is known for its panoramic views over Enoggera Forest Reserve out toward the city, further up to the Glasshouse Mountains and even Moreton Bay. The lookout is named after Brisbane’s first mayor, William Jolly, who thought the sizable, rolling mountain ridge reserve was the perfect place for a picnic and it seems today many are still in agreement with him. The villages of Mount Glorious and Mount Nebo, in the southern section of the D’Aguilar Range, are home to many native plants, animals and birds. A great place to relax and unwind from the pressures of life, the D’Aguilar National Park is reputedly the largest tract of bushland near an Australian state capital and is the closest rainforest to the city. By visiting Thylogale Walking Track or Jolly’s Lookout, you’ll understand just how special D’Aguilar National Park is and why it is referred to as a nature haven. The two mountains are famous for their many bushwalks, most of which are suitable for people of varying fitness levels. As one of the best bushwalking destinations north of Brisbane, Mount Glorious has seven family-friendly tracks that feature boardwalks to safely traverse tricky terrain. Likewise, Mount Nebo offers many tracks that can introduce you to eucalypt and rainforest wonderland of D’Aguilar. Source: www.visitmoretonbayregion.com.au/natural-attractions/joll...

GLENA BAY & MOUNTAIN KILLARNEY. 226 W.L. It is difficult to read.

beachcomber australia it was.

Presumably Glena Bay is where Glena Cottage is/was. Previously -

But there is a problem; another view from in front of the Cottage does not include an enormous mountain - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000337213 Aha! That is Glena Cottage just visible via megazoom in the distance (see note). So Mr French / Lawrence was not at Glena Bay, but looking at it. Phew!

Mr French / Lawrence was somewhere near Ross Island copper mine ?? GoogleBall - goo.gl/maps/PxL5a2EGrQB6YAuf8 ed. Not happy with that ... Anyone?

Glorious by name, glorious by nature. Tenderly embraced by lush rainforest, the endearing mountain hamlet of Mount Glorious is just 45 minute's drive from Brisbane on the magnificent D'Aguilar Range. Accessed by a winding mountain road, the tiny village is surrounded by a mountainous National Park and protected forests. The drive up the mountain is peppered with breath-taking lookouts, picnic spots and points of natural interest. Be sure to stop a while and enjoy the view. At 680 metres above sea level the village is sometimes shrouded in cloudy mist. The cool mountain air makes Mount Glorious a particularly glorious place to visit during the hot summer months.
