On the 26th July 1799, Matthew Flinders sailed up the Pumicestone [River] Passage, into Glass Mountain Creek till the water was too shallow. He then set out on foot to climb a mountain to get a better view of the land, and decided on Mount Tibrogargan. Camping in the area of Mount Tibrogargan, Flinders noticed it was too difficult to climb and opted for Mount Beerburrum instead.
Being the first European to climb, in fact probably the first person ever to climb them as the aboriginal people, the Gubbi Gubbi held the mountains as taboo to climb as there were demons on the slopes led the club to name its newsletter in his honour. One of the greatest voyages he did was around Australia in the “HMS Investigator”.
