Mount Mulligan QLD

[Gusto]

Thanks Steve. Yeh, I've been checking the road blocks (many!) to the north. Seems a tad overzealous given no indigenous communities in the gold areas or Mulligan. Anyway, hopefully things will lighten up very soon.

Hi T.O I agree there should be a place there for prospectors out there and such a empressive mountain, My partner and daughters are also traditional owners and we go out there for day trips about 4 times a year, but leave the detector at home, somewhere closer than Georgetown would be a bonus, I havent tried getting permission out at mulligan or Kondaparinga yet maybe in the next few months once restrictions ease of more

Does anyone know more about access around the Hodgkinson river area to detect. I don't have a great deal of information but here is what I know, Mount Mulligan is off limits & closed to all camping and prospecting Kondoparinga Station is under receivership, what that means for camping & detecting I don't know "I assume no entry" But there is Thornsborough & Kingsborough both are townships and are one square mile each.

All the tracks leading off the main track around thornsborough & Kingsborough have no entry Ie: "Mount Mulligan" but this isn't true! I've marked out way points of the boundaries & detect within those areas. I was pulled up by one of the graziers from mount Mulligan last year when I was there & was asked what I was doing here, I told him I am spending a few days here at Thornsborough chasing gold with my 5K. I also alluded to the fact I knew where the boundaries were & where I was standing was not on Mount Mulligan station, nor was it Kondoparinga. He said nothing else to me & just drove off on is quad!! lol

Some huge nuggets have been found in that country over the years & I have found some nice gold there myself, so much is still locked up in the host rock being 90% hard-rock & only 10% alluvial. The terraces & ridges have a lot to offer if you put the work in ower: ickshovel: Would be great to get permission for Kondoparinga hopefully things will change in the future.

Once you cross the grid going to Thornborough you are on Mulligan Station and that grid is at least 10kms before you get anywhere near Thornborough. Its all Mulligan Station until you go into Kondo, Hurrican or Glen Russel your boundary information is wrong Im afraid. Chris Morris owns the entire property and there are no leases operating or pending so you are trespassing and we will escort you from the property. There are nearly 1500 head of cattle on the station and an operating resort.

Thanks for your info that's very interesting to hear that. I'm getting my data directly off the QLD GOV Derm website which clearly shows property boundaries Ie: Kingsborough & Thornsborough both with 1 square mile of land allocated for each township along with GOV owned/leased section of land for what purpose I don't know.... including a small parcels of land just before you get to Thornsborough leased under different purposes. That said I will call Derm to get this clarified to who has ownership & I definitely won't be going into an area I can't go, cheers :Y:

The old pub site at Thonghborough is lived in by the Fulconers and have so for 50 odd years and Kingsborough is owned and lived in by Ike who has lived there for the best part of 30 years, that is the only parcels of land that are not owned by Chris Morris but you would need permission from those owners as they are freehold and Mt Mulligan is 99 year lease. The only Gov owned sites are the Cemeteries and monuments and if you prospect them well each to their own. All number plates and vehicles that enter Mulligan are now being photographed apon entry and if caught details will be passed onto police.

May I ask what your position is at Mt Mulligan?

I was under the impression the 2 areas noted as "reserve" are not under the control of Mt Mulligan? Is my information incorrect?

Isn't the road from Dimbulah north through Mt Mulligan a gazetted road? Is that where you are photographing number plates? By all means if someone moves off the road reserve then you have cause to act. I have just finished reading Struberville. Interesting how that all started.

 

[goldwright]

They are Heritage reserves and are very small parcels of land. The Gazzeted road that you use to get there is also not under control of Mt Mulligan but is being maintained by both Mulligan and the council. We are finding people cutting fences to get into Kondo and this is causing no end of problems for us.

There shouldn't be a problem detecting inside the gazetted road boundary either. A 40gm piece came out of the tabledrain between Thornsborough and Kingsborough a few years ago.

The "red dots" are the current EPM'S and current ML's are noted.

People who cut fences are fair game!

Goldwright, if you stay at the Mount Mulligan Resort can you detect on the station at all?

With Permission yes but at $1000 a night for cheapest room you will have access to limited ground within close proximity to the lodge.

:lol: :lol: :lol:, you would want a guarantee of finding at least half an ounce for rates like that, if that's a real quote and not an attempt to keep everyone else away from your patch.

All Chris's resorts are high end but that price is all inclusive and the clientele he caters too want complete privacy most of which he flies in and out in 1 of his helicopters.

 

[Dave79]

Holy crap, you can get a weeks stay in a quite nice holiday house in Tassie for that sort of money, guess the international visitors can afford that sort of money but I'm out!
