Image WalshsPyramid2.JPG thumb 240px right Walshs Pyramid Walshs Pyramid Bundadjarruga 922 m is an independent peak with a distinct pyramidal appearance, 20 km south of Cairns, Queensland Cairns , Queensland , Australia . Scene of an annual footrace, held on the third Saturday in August, to its summit. The Pyramid race starts at the nearby town of Gordonvale and attracts hundreds of competitors aiming to win the 5000 that is up for grabs. The mountain is very steep so one should be reasonably fit to make the climb to the top. For experienced hikers, the ascent and descent can take approximately 4 to 6 hours. The vegetation on the mountain is fairly dense and consists mostly of Australian scrub. Many rocks are open and exposed on the surface of the mountain which make the surface very slippery after it has rained. . ref cite web url http www.derm.qld.gov.au parks wooroonooran walshs pyramid about.html title Walshs Pyramid, Wooroonooran National Park year 2007 accessdate 2007 05 25 ref Image Walsh s Pyramid view from summit 2008 10 02 at 08 27 22.jpg thumb 240px right The view from the summit towards Cairns References reflist coord 17 07 47 S 145 48 00 E region AU QLD type mountain display title Category Far North Queensland Category Mountains of Queensland FarNorthQueensland geo stub ... more details
