Why is Mt Coot-tha special?? and must visit

To the Aborigines it was a place to collect honey produced by the native stingless bee.But for most, it is the closest mountain to the Brisbane CBD offering a panoramic view of the city, ways to spend a day and the perfect spot for a picnic.Mt Coot-tha is the place to go to take in a panoramic view of Brisbane and get glimpses of the surrounding region of Moreton Bay. As you walk the length of the observation deck, you can read a historic timeline of this iconic destination before popping a gold coin in one of the telescopes for a closer look at the suburbs below. It is a particularly lovely spot from which to watch the sunset, early risers will be pleased to note that the view is just as impressive first thing in the morning, at sunrise. Just down the road, sitting at the base of Mount Coot-tha you’ll find the Brisbane Botanic Gardens. Whether you’re a green thumb or simply appreciative of plant life, the 56-hectares of garden are well worth a visit. #familytravel #nationalpark #urbanexplorer #brisbane #australiatravel
