The first European to see the Caloundra area was Captain James Cook in May 1770. He named the Glass House Mountains after the glass furnaces from his home in Yorkshire, for the shape of the volcanic plugs. Matthew Flinders explored the area in July 1799, entering the channel between what is now Caloundra and Bribie Island, and named it the Pumicestone River for the pumice stone on the shoreline. He and his crew stayed in the area for 15 days and ventured ashore to climb Mount Beerburrum.
