Mount Mulligan is a former mining town, mining coal from 1910 until 19 September 1921 when an underground explosion killed 75 miners (all the miners in the town). The mine closed, but reopened in 1923 and continued in production until 1957 when a hydro-electric scheme eliminated the need for the coal. The coal was mined from shafts dug into a Permian layer under the cliff face of a large 18 kilometres x 6.5 kilometres free-standing Triassic conglomerate and sandstone (Pepper Pot Sandstone) massif (rising up to 400 metres above the township) known by the name given it by the small group of prospectors who first sighted it in 1874 while searching the Hodgkinson River for gold, under the leadership of James Venture Mulligan. The conglomerate and sandstone massif is known to local Djungan aboriginal peoples as Ngarrabullgan.
