Nature at Mount Mulligan

Every year Queensland’s flora reveals over 50 new species of plants, algae, lichens and fungi. Due to its unique positioning, the Ngarrabullgan tabletop is a ‘hot-spot’ for plants that grow nowhere else, and in 2017 a new plant species Labichea mulliganensis was discovered on the mountain and it’s the only place it grows in the world!

The lodge is set in a natural environment and is home to some harmless inhabitants, some which you might cross paths with during your stay.

Nature at Mount Mulligan

The secluded 28,000-hectare property consists of flat river valleys and low ranges of metamorphic rocks, all covered in sparse sclerophyll forest. The Hodgkinson River weaves through the property, as does the tributary, Branch Creek. On Branch Creek is an almost permanent waterhole, which attracts wildlife and offers great views of the southern tip of Ngarrabullgan, great for wildlife and bird spotting.
