Take a scenic helicopter flight tour from Cairns or Port Douglas to the old mining town of Tyrconnell and enjoy views to a massive sandstone formation, Mount Mulligan- 10 times bigger than world famous Uluru.
The five star Mount Mulligan Lodge is located 160km west of Cairns and is a working cattle station rich in Australian Dreamtime history.
Learn about the Australian gold mining history and the “old way of life” in Tyrconnell which is sure to surprise you with some incredible stories from the late 1800s as you motor around on a guided ATV quad bike tour.
Mount Mulligan- Bigger Than Uluru
There are not many people who haven’t heard of Uluru or Ayers Rock but few know that there is a 10 times larger sandstone tabletop mountain not far from Cairns in Far North Queensland called Mount Mulligan.
In fact, it is impossible to miss it from air or by road as this sandstone ridge is an impressive 18 kilometres long!
This place is important for Kuku Djungan Aboriginal people who believe Mount Mulligan (also called Njrrabulgan) to be a sacred “Dreaming” place, and is often mentioned in the myths and beliefs of other Aboriginal groups in the nearby areas.
The mountain hides two of the oldest known Aboriginal sites in Queensland, dating back to 40 000 years.
We will land at Mt Mulligan Station which is now home to five star, Mt Mulligan Lodge. Guests can enjoy lunch at the property with a swim in the pool.
Why not combine your private charter helicopter flight with an overnight stay to see the Australian outback at sunset?.
Discover Tyroconnell
After your spectacular helicopter flight into the Australian outback you will land in a historical town called Tyrconnell. Built in 1876, this town used to be one of the biggest goldmines of its time and also the reason why Cairns and Port Douglas settlements were started.
What now is an empty and forgotten town used to be bustling with life and once home to over ten thousand people.
Several historical buildings and machines are remainders of that era. You can see the rare 120-year-old quartz crushing machine in operation or try panning for gold to appreciate the efforts of early settlers.
Panning is only available when there is water in the nearby creeks, this activity might not be available towards the end of the dry season due to drought.
Scenic Helicopter Flight Back to Cairns over the Outback and Rainforest Clad Mountains
Once you have acquainted yourself with the outback legends at Mount Mulligan Station, visited the old gold mine site and perhaps even tried your luck panning gold yourself, it is time to take a helicopter flight back to Cairns or Port Douglas.
Yet again you will have the best possible views to the outback Queensland landscapes and buildings and as you get closer to Kuranda and Cairns you will also get rewarded with the views to the rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef.
Book now for a half day helicopter tour to Mount Mulligan Station in the Australian outback to unlock the secrets of the old mining town and create a lifetime of beautiful memories.
