Mulligan Highway
The 266-kilometre Mulligan Highway, named after bushman and prospector James Venture Mulligan, runs between Mareeba and Cooktown.
The sealed highway, which passes through Mount Molloy, Mount Carbine, and Lakeland, was completed in 2006 and reduced the travelling time from Cairns to Cooktown from 6 to 3½ hours. It was formerly the Cooktown Developmental Road.
