View from the lookout at the top of Mount Crosby

Vesna Verencevic said:
Mount Crosby is a semi-rural outer western locality in the City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The locality of Mount Crosby is bounded to the south-west and south by the Brisbane River (known by locals as the "Devil's elbow"), to the south-east by Mount Crosby Road and a second section of the Brisbane River, and to the north by Lake Manchester Road and Swensons Road. It is 22 kilometres (14 mi) south-west of the Brisbane CBD. Mount Crosby has the following mountains: - Holts Hill, 65 metres (213 ft) above sea level - Mount Crosby (also known as Mount Belle Vue), 183 metres (600 ft) above sea level The Jagera Aboriginal people inhabited areas in Mount Crosby and they had ceremonial grounds on the slopes of Mount Elphinstone and at Bellbowrie.[7] John Oxley explored the Brisbane River in September 1824. He and Lieutenant Butler climbed the mountain (now known as Mount Crosby) naming it Belle Vue Mountain. The origin of the current name is uncertain, but there are two theories. The first theory is that first farmers to take up land in the area came from Crosbie-on-Eden on the England-Scotland border and they named the mountain Mount Crosbie. The second theory is that a gold prospector George Crosby worked here in the early days. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Crosby,_Queensland

This is an outstanding image of the illuminations which welcomed the fleet. I've seen plenty, but I've not seen such a detailed view before.
