No Experience Required

You step off the luxury minivan and the air changes — eucalyptus and damp leaf mould push against the windows as the guide points up at a jagged skyline of volcanic plugs. The Glass House Mountains rise like a row of ancient keels, their sheer sides catching late-morning light. For the next seven to eight hours Joel’s Journeys guides you through the peaks, lookouts and rainforest hollows that make this patch of Queensland feel older than its freeways.
