This afternoon's Junior Rangers experience offers a privately guided exploration of the Mount Mulligan outback designed to spark curiosity and deepen connection with the natural world. Led by one of the lodge's expert guides, the experience invites you to see the landscape through fresh eyes, learning to read animal tracks, identify traditional bush medicines and uncover the subtle stories woven into the land and its ecosystems.
A visit to the weir brings a playful hands-on highlight, with the chance to feed the resident barramundi and observe the diverse wildlife and plant life that sustains this remarkable station.
Returning to base camp younger travellers and the young at heart are invited to continue the adventure with a custom Junior Rangers activity book filled with puzzles, colouring and creative challenges inspired by the outback. A joyful and quietly meaningful way to reflect on the day's discoveries and carry a little of this extraordinary landscape home.
