Mount Mulligan, Queensland

Mount Mulligan is a former mining town and now a rural locality in the Shire of Mareeba, Queensland, Australia.

The conglomerate and sandstone mountain range is known to local Djungan people as Ngarrabullgan.

[2] The town's coal was mined from shafts dug into a Permian layer within the cliff face or escarpment of a large 18 kilometres (11 mi) x 6.5 kilometres (4.0 mi) free-standing conglomerate and sandstone massif (rising up to 400 metres above the township).

The mine closed, but reopened in 1923 and continued in production until 1957 when a hydro-electric scheme eliminated the need for the coal.

[8] In the 2006 census, the locality of Mount Mulligan and the surrounding area had a population of 55 people.
