Walsh's Pyramid, 922 metres, the challenge Susan set us on 11 July. We might have left our start up the mountain too late at 1:30 pm brimming with confidence after several weeks climbing the slopes of Castle Hill. Two and a half hours later Susan stood on the summit with Ted still some 80 metres below with bad cramps in both thighs. We finally got off the Pyramid at 5:50 very tired and pleased to have achieved our objective.










This shot shows the pair of us, showing signs of exhaustion, at the "Half way rock" on the return journey. The smoke in the left centre foreground is the Mulgrave mill at Gordonvale.
The weather at Babinda turned to showers after several beautifull days of winter sunshine. How's this for rain fall records. Garradunga is a few miles north of Innisfail. The old pub was severly damaged by the cyclone, having it's roof completely torn off.
We have visited quite a few waterfalls on our trip. This is the Fishery Falls just north of Bellenden Ker where Ted grew up. He had never visited them although they were no more than 13 kilomtres away from his home. This water is fairly cold and it certainly took the breath away. There was very little cyclone damage in this area.
