THE NEXT WOLGAN VALLEY

MOUNT MULLIGAN STATION, MOUNT MULLIGAN, QLD

Set to open within the next year, Mount Mulligan Station will be one hot launch: think luxury outback oasis on a 28,000-hectare property, 170 kilometres west of Cairns; set in the shadow of a dramatic 18-kilometre sandstone ridge under an endless sky. Twelve rooms, suites and villas will house a maximum of 24 guests, ensuring true escapism. Those arriving by helicopter will enjoy magnificent views of reef, rainforest and outback before immersing themselves in the local history (tours of the old mining town, cattle station and homestead; guided bushwalks) and environment (swimming and fishing in the reservoir, exploring in 6WD Land Rovers). Cap it all off with a spot of stargazing and some fine wines by the fire pit. mountmulligan.com ALSO COMING SOON… Hobart’s MACq01; a ‘storytelling hotel’ that promises to immerse guests in the history and characters of Tasmania. macq01.com.au
