Intimate and remote, Mt Mulligan Lodge dazzles with all the key ingredients a wedding or honeymoon can offer. In the latest issue of Polka Dot Wedding, writer Lisa Perkovic outlines ‘Rural Romance: How To Honeymoon In The Outback’ and why the Luxury Lodge goes beyond your typical fanfare.

“Not even thirty minutes ago we jumped into a helicopter in Cairns, the vast blue of the Great Barrier Reef at our backs, the lush rainforest and rolling hills of the Atherton Tablelands ahead. In minutes we’ve left the neat rows of apple trees behind, replaced by endless bushland polka dotted with scrub. Mount Mulligan is a ridge along the horizon in Djungan country, almost ten times the size of Uluru and carpeted in eucalyptus trees. Soon we spot the namesake lodge at its base. From above, Mt. Mulligan Lodge is a cluster of buildings around a billabong, a tiny blip on a 66,000-acre cattle station. On the ground, we leave the helipad by golf cart, and in less than a minute we’re sipping bubbles under the exposed beams of a lodge that’s the stuff outback dreams are made of.” – Lisa Perkovic, Polka Dot Wedding.
