It came about as a result of a side trip while traveling on business to Australia. The trip, one pleasant late summer morning, involved a visit to the Glass House mountains in Eastern Queensland, Australia. There he found Mount Tibrogargan, and decided to explore the Australian aboriginal lore about that mountain and neighboring peaks. He decided to climb Mount Beerburrum, and through the clearing morning mists met up with Beerwah, Tibrogargan and their family huddling together in the outback. The rest as they say is history.
