The Glass House Mountains are a curious group of volcanic crags rising up from the coastal plain about 20km north of Caboolture. Aboriginal legend talks of these rocky peaks as belonging to a family of Mountain Spirits. The Story is called The Weeping Mountain and his Wayward Son.

The Mountain Spirits are presided over by Tibrogargan (364m) who is the father of all tribes, and his wife Beerwah (556m). They had several offspring of whom Coonowrin (377m) was the eldest. His siblings include Tunbubudla(the twins: 293m and 312m), Coochin(235m), Ngungun(253m), Tibberoowuccum (200m) Miketeebumulgrai (199m) and Elimbah (129m)

Tibrogargan was looking at the coast and saw the sea level was rising. He thought there would be a flood and worried for his wife, who was by the water. He was equally concerned for his children, but couldn’t save them all. So, he asked his eldest son to go help his mother. As Tibrogargan gathered the rest of the children, he looked back to ensure his oldest and wife were safe. But, he found Coonowrin running away and leaving his mother. He became to angered that he struck his son with a club, dislocating his neck.

After the flood waters had gone down, they all were able to go back home. Once the other children saw Coonowrin’s crooked neck, they teased him . This shamed him and he went to his father for forgiveness. Tibrogargan was so distraught, he wept in despair asking how his son could have left his own mother. Coonowrin said that she was bigger than any of them, so could take care of herself. He did not realize that she was not big, she was very pregnant. Coonowrin’s siblings began to cry and their tears created many streams all the way to the sea.

According to the law of the tribe, Tibrogargan could not forgive his son who had disgraced him so he turned his back on Coonowrin forever. To this day Tibrogargan faces out to sea while his son hangs his crooked neck in same and cries. As for Beerwah, well she is still pregnant.
