  • Mulligan Hill Has an Expansive Vantage of the Imposing Sandstone
    Mulligan Hill has an expansive vantage of the imposing sandstone mountain that gives the lodge its name, the cinematically rugged landscape, Lake Geraldine below and the abandoned mining township of Mount Mulligan. As the sky glows like an ember at sunset and the ridges of the escarpment come alive, finish the day in solitude with a gourmet cheeseboard and a chilled sundowner … or two. Away from the bright lights of civilisation, the stars sparkle like diamonds from the inky darkness in the outback! Our exclusive ‘Dark Skies’ astronomy experience allows guests to view a dazzling display of colourful star clusters, interstellar clouds, neighbouring galaxies and the Milky Way through a telescope with the narration of a personal star guide. Savour the brilliance of a glittering desert starscape with a dessert wine and gourmet cheese board to conclude the evening. Take a scenic helicopter flight over the star of the show Mount Mulligan (Ngarrabullgan). Best seen from the sky, nothing quite prepares you for the scale and grandeur of this ancient mountain that’s embedded with cultural significance dating back 37,000 years. A natural wonder of the outback, the 18km-long conglomerate and sandstone escarpment is 10 times larger than Uluru (Ayers Rock) and some believe it is the birthplace of the Rainbow Serpent, creator of the world in indigenous mythology. Birdwatchers are spoilt for choice at Mount Mulligan with over 126 species of birds being recorded at the property. Many of the species are best observed at dawn, with the help of a Field Guide and a pair of binoculars, when they charm guests with their charismatic and colourful physiques and beautiful song.
