About this audio guide
This guide to the Mount Coot-tha Summit Lookout in Brisbane opens with the single tree that once gave the mountain its old name, One Tree Hill, and the three men who climbed here on the sixth of July, eighteen twenty-eight. One was Captain Patrick Logan, the Moreton Bay penal settlement's commandant, a man whose punishments made him one of colonial Queensland's most feared officers. The guide follows his river-mapping expeditions from this same summit and the reputation he built among the convicts he ruled. Best heard while you take in the same view he once surveyed.
