Northern Outback Queensland

Dominated by the seasons, this region of Queensland is “big sky” country. Populated by sparsely settled cattle stations as big as some countries, stark red earth plains and scattered billabongs along seasonal rivers, it boasts a diverse and vibrant landscape.

We acknowledge and pay respect to the Djungan people, the Traditional Custodians of the land upon which Mt Mulligan Lodge stands. In sharing elements of their history, heritage and culture we acknowledge the Djungan people of Ngarrabullgan (Mount Mulligan) and their connections to Country.
