We did
Kingsborough, Tyroconnell and Mt Mulligan last year. For me, Mt Mulligan stole the show. What a fantastic
campsite by
the lagoon and the colours of Mt Mulligan at daybreak were breathtaking. Me and my mate from
Cairns are heading back soon to complete the round trip over the
Mitchell River. Richo, make sure you go the extra 20 klm or so to Mulligan - you won't regret it. And stop off at the
Thornborough and Mt Mulligan cemetaries while you're there. Some heartbreaking stories on the
tombstones.
