Mount Beerwah is the highest of the ten volcanic plugs in the Glass House Mountains range, 22 kilometres (14 mi) north of Caboolture in South East Queensland, Australia. It was formed 26 million years ago during the Oligocene Epoch of the Paleogene Period. Geologists estimate it may be only a third of its original height due to intense erosion.
Mount Beerwah has two peaks, the taller of which is 556 metres (1,824 ft) high. It is one of the most visually prominent mountains in south-east Queensland. The first European settlers to ascend the peak were Andrew Petrie with his son John Petrie.[1] Its name comes from the Dungidau language words "birra, or "sky," and "wandum," "climbing up."
In the traditional Aboriginal story of the region, Mount Beerwah is the pregnant mother and Mount Tibrogargan the father of all the other mountains in the area. Local Aboriginal people consider the mountains sacred.[citation needed]
The mountain is composed almost entirely of trachyte. One side features a dramatic, inward leaning cliff face known as the Organ Pipes.[1] At its base are a number of small caves.
