The newest addition to the Baillie Lodges stable, Silly Oaks Lodge has always been considered one of Australia’s finest luxury resorts. However, with a multimillion makeover it is fair to say things have been taken to a new level, particularly on the cullinary front.
Marketed as Queensland’s newest, all-inclusive luxury property, Mount Mulligan Lodge is part of an ever expanding list of must visit properties across the north of Australia. The lodge is located on a private working cattle station, and the accommodation sits below the majestic, and for some, fear inducing, Mount Mulligan. The nearby former township and mine is also the site of the “Mount Mulligan mine disaster”, Queensland's worst!
