Mount Mitchell lies about 100 km west of Brisbane, Australia and immediately south of Cunningham's Gap. The peak to the south of the gap was named by Allan Cunningham in 1828 and today is part of the Main Range National Park. The height of this twin peaked mountain is 1168 metres. [1] To the north of Cunningham's Gap is Mount Cordeaux. A graded trail winds its way up to the main summit which offers some great views. From the peak on a clear day the tallest buildings in Brisbane can be seen, as can the D'Aguilar Range, Fassifern Valley and many other parts of the Scenic Rim.
