Jim
We are going to NQ in June. I would like to go to Mt Mulligan as I last visited the place 45 plus years ago. Has anyone been there lately and where did you stay?
The
CREB track too. We just drove thru last time( avery long time ago!) but I hear you have to get permission now.
I would also like to drive the 4WD track that runs from
Kuranda up towards Pt Douglas. I would appreciate any comments on any of the above.
Thanks Jim

Hi Jim,
Not much accomm Mulligan way. You could probably stay in
Atherton or Herberton and do day trips to Mulligan, Triconnell
Mine and Irvine Bank areas. The CREB tack is closed for the extended wet weather we are having but should be open in June.
Black Mountain Road runs from just east of
Kuranda and runs thru to Julaten. Permit reqired from NPWS FOC. You can then drive down the Rex Range to either
Mossman or Port. East Black Mountain Road and the bump track to Craigle is closed and has been for some time. Cheers Rob

Hi Jim,
Can
camp at Mt Mulligan beside the
dam. Just ring the owners first. I was up there in Dec/Jan. Also,if you want to get off the beaten you can get up to the tablelands via a back road going up the range behind Kennedy(near
Cardwell) towards
Blencoe Falls then going across to
Ravenshoe. (A rather pleasent drive on dirt tracks and some pretty log bridges) If you want more information email me on kcartwri@bigpond.net.au. We are fairly local to the area.
Darryl
