Naked Hippies on Mt. Warning...

At the top with a beautiful wet view!

Forgot to post the photos from the hike up Mount Warning... the tallest peak in southeast Queensland. It's actually the first place in Australia that sees the sun each morning... We hiked it in 2 hours and raced down in 45min... it was so much fun... and really beautiful with mist that kept us cool. When we reached the top we were greeted by three traveling hippies who eventually got naked to do an aboriginal ritual saluting the four points off the peak. They wanted us to joing but there was no way. We were wet and cold and just needed a rest. Bummer there was no view because of cloud cover but its Aboriginal name means 'Cloud Catcher' so that was pretty much it. All around great day...
