Mount Elimbah, also known as The Saddleback, is part of the iconic Glass House Mountains, listed on the Queensland and National Heritage Register. 
These peaks are remnants of volcanic activity that occurred approximately 25–27 million years ago. Molten rock filled small vents or intruded as bodies beneath the surface, solidifying into hard rocks—trachyte and rhyolite. Over millions of years, erosion has stripped away the softer sandstone and volcanic cone exteriors, leaving behind the dramatic landscape features we see today. 
The Glass House Mountains provide the best example of an eroded central volcano complex in Australia, offering a unique glimpse into the volcanic history of eastern Australia.
The rocky pavements and diverse habitats of the peaks are crucial for biodiversity, housing 20 plant species of conservation significance. 
Established as a National Park in 1994 the Glasshouse Mountains National Park is a haven for flora and fauna, with vegetation ranging from gullies to heathlands. The area is home to a rich array of wildlife, including around 170 bird species, koalas, lace monitors, gliders, possums, echidnas, and whip-tailed wallabies. 
Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with nature, learn about the region’s unique plant species, and enjoy the stunning views from one of the Sunshine Coast's favorite family destinations.
