One beautiful Sunday morning I made a crazy decision to hike Walsh’s Pyramid – one of the North's largest natural wonders, a glacial formed pyramidal peak. To make my trip more interesting (I love endurance training!) I rode my push bike from Cairns to the mountain’s base (58 km round trip~ yes I felt it the next day).
