The Glass House Mountains are a cluster of thirteen hills that rise abruptly from the coastal plain on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia. The highest hill is Mount Beerwah at 556 metres above sea level, but the most identifiable of all the hills is Mount Tibrogargan which from certain angles bears a resemblance to a face staring east towards the ocean. The Volcanic peaks of the Glass House Mountains rise dramatically from the surrounding Sunshine Coast landscape. They were formed by intrusive plugs, remnants of volcanic activity that occurred 26-27 million years ago. Molten rock filled small vents or intruded as bodies beneath the surface and solidified into land rocks
The names of each mountain in the range are:
| Mount Beerburrum, 278 m Mount Beerwah, 556 m Mount Coochin or The Coochin Hills, 235 m and 230 m Mount Coonowrin or Crookneck or Fakebig, 377 m | Mount Elimbah or The Saddleback, 109 m Mount Ngungun, 253 m Mount Tibberoowuccum, 220 m Mount Tibrogargan and Cooee, 364 m and 177 m |
