Geocache Description:


(May I ask the next intrepid Geocacher to bring a simple container with a log sheet along🤔? Please replace it if needed😍!)
Ordinary people had to work hard in ancient Egypt. So do you if you want to get to the top of this high natural Pyramid. It needs a lot of perseverance. If you have reached this point one feat is just left to approach the goal you set yourself.
Happy hunting and BYO pen please!
Situated at the northern end of Wooroonooran National Park, within the Wet Tropics World Heritage Area, Walshs Pyramid is a granite core left standing in the form of a pointed hill when older, less resistant metamorphic rocks were eroded away.
Eucalypt woodlands cover the lower slopes while towards the summit, as soil becomes shallower, trees are more stunted and shrubs dominate along with grasses and rock ferns.
Every year, in August, this mountain is the focus of the ‘Great Pyramid Race’. Runners compete on a 12 km course, from the middle of nearby Gordonvale to the summit of Walshs Pyramid and back.*
Special regard has to be taken for the environment in this National Park which is totally protected. You must comply with any park regulations. We recommend you informing yourself at http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/parks_and_forests/park_alerts/index.php and reading the signpost at the trailhead.
Permission to place this Geocache has been given by the QPWS ranger in charge.
Apart from Geocoins, no other trade or trophy items (including Travel Bugs) can be placed in this cache.
