The highest freestanding pyramid in the world is the Walsh Pyramid of Cairns. Perhaps the most unique feature of the sugar farming town of Gordonvale, this mountain is 922 meters in height. As the mountain is quiet steep you must muster a great of deal of courage and must be fit enough to climb the peak.
The vegetation of the mountain is dense and of diversified type. It mainly consists of Australian shrubs. The mountain during the wet season becomes a bit risky. But if you are a bit careful the problem can easily be overcomed.
The top view of the mountain provides a 360 degrees view of the entire landscape that is sure to take your breath away. Attractions
The place is largely visited in the month when there is a Pyramid race. Hundreds of participants run up the hill and descend. The race is however reserved for people who have very good fitness level. If you have the courage to bear the pain, then feel the trill of the race.
If you manage to climb the peak, your work would be rewarded as you can see a top view of the entire land. Also see the breath taking view as the sun gradually sinks. General information
Carry enough water to drink, as the climate is hot and apply sunscreen. Accessibility
The place can be accessed from the Bruce highways. If you are at Gordonvale then it is only 1 kilometer from there.
