Ngarrabullgan, Queensland

Overview

Ngarrabullgan, also called Mount Mulligan, is a visually striking table top mountain. For the Traditional Owners of Ngarrabullgan, the Djungan people, the mountain is a sacred and dangerous place that they approach with caution. Archaeological evidence shows that people stopped living on the mountain 600 years ago. This is an exceptionally rare example of an archaeologically recorded change in behaviour which is consistent with contemporary Aboriginal traditions and beliefs.

Ngarrabullgan was included on the National Heritage List on 12 May 2011.
