Panorama: View from Mount Edwards, Australia

I’ve been busy training for my next big adventure lately, which I will tell you all about in coming weeks. A huge part of my training has been climbing as many mountains as I can, and this panorama is the view from the top of Mount Edwards in Moogerah Peaks National Park in South East Queensland, Australia. It’s not a tall mountain, but it has a nice steep path going to the summit, which makes it a perfect place to train for my next adventure. The reward for making it to the top is this incredible view of the fertile farmland of the Fassifern Valley.
