Planning yet another trip back to FNQ and am looking at doing the trek from Dimbula through Mt Mulligan to Mt Carbine. Can anyone give me a heads up on what the road through here is like and also is it worth a day or two staying at Tryconnell?
Thanks
Pete

The road is very good, a bit windy past Mt Mulligan.
Good camp and tour (at cost) through Tyconnall
Mine, but a better
camp site at Thornbrough a couple of k past the turnoff.
Great camping at the
dam on Mt Mulligan Stn, worth a couple of days, with a walk up the escarpment and around the
old mine and cematery.

Tony - is this a commercial enterprise or do I have to contact the station manager?

G'day Pete.
Tony responded nicely. That country is just SO rich: and concentrated.
Go and look with an open plan: mate, it's a rabbit warren there, just feel happy to back out if Plan A looks dodgy. (ps. take a hand winch, or heaps of caution, eh.) JH.

Sounds like a plan Neil. We intend leaving here around 4 Aug taking it pretty slowly. Spending a few days visiting a nephew in
Emerald and then on up north. I have 3 x sisters up there - 1 in
Mossman, 1 in Smithfield and the other in Edmonton - so will be catching up with them as
well. Don't intend coming back to the grind until mid-September.
Cheers
Pete
