Montville

Okay so today we went to Montville. It is a small village in the mountains near the suburb of where we are residing here in Australia. i have included some pictures as the view, the journey and the whole experience in general was just totally stunning.

Everything from the long open roads, to driving along and mountains appearing between the trees, to seeing sun, sea, forest, countryside, city and residential juxta-posed together side by side was totally breath taking. Parts of it reminded me of some of the beautiful countryside in England.

The photos alone cannot do the experience justice as there was so many things and so much space to focus on and take in at once, here is a feeble attempt.

















This is one of the glass house mountains. They were named that by Captain James Cook as he sailed around the coast of the Queensland territory in his boat.



On May 17, 1770 Captain James Cook (a rather perceptive fellow) wrote the following in his journal: "These hills lie but a little way inland, and not far from each other: they are remarkable for the singular form of their elevation, which very much resembles a glass house, and for this reason I called them Glass Houses."
