Road Trip to Queensland
"The glass house mountains story
Tibrogargan and his wife, Beerwah had nine children, from Coonowrin the eldest down to the youngest, now known as Wild Horse Mountain.
Because Beewah was heavily pregnant, Tibrogargan asked Coonowrin to look after his brother and sisters. But Coonowrin was easily distracted and wasn't paying attention when a large wave swept the baby Wild Horse away. Fortunately. Tibrogargan saved his little son but he and Beerwah were sad about Coonowrin's behaviour and cried tears that formed little creeks.
When Coonowrin saw this he was so ashamed he decided to show his family that he could be a responsible grown-up. He went to the country of the Maroochy people to steal one of the women of that group. But Ninderry, the headman of the Maroochy people, was waiting for Coonowrin and attacked him with his mighty club. Coonowring was lucky to escape with a crooked neck.
Coonowrin's family were impressed with his brave attempt, and welcomed back their young hero.
Today, as we look out across the Glass House Mountains, we can see the eleven members of Tibrogargan's family."
