Mount Tibrogargan is located in the Glass House Mountains, on the Sunshine Coast, about 70km north of Brisbane. It rises to 364metres above sea level, making it the third\u2011highest of the Glass House Mountains after Mount Beerwah and Mount Coonowrin.<\/p>\n

It is a popular spot for hikers and bushwalkers from Australia<\/a> and overseas but Queensland\u2019s Department of Environment and Tourism warns people attempting to walk the summit routes must be well-prepared climbers with a high level of fitness and rock-scrambling experience. It said: \u201cThe summit routes have exposed, steep rocky sections and irregular surfaces with loose stones that require rock scrambling and climbing skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cSerious injuries and deaths have occurred on summit routes. Rock falls may occur at any time. If you access the summit routes you need to be aware of the risks. Your safety is your responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
