Mulligan River

Mulligan River

      intermittent stream in east-central Australia. Rising in the Toko Range, Queensland, it flows southeast past Barrington Peak on the west. It widens into a dry salt bed with artesian wells on its route before merging with Eyre Creek near Muncoonie Lake salt beds. Upon crossing the South Australian border and emptying into Goyder Lagoon, it completes its course of 700 miles (1,100 km). In 1876 Mulligan River was named by William Oswald Hodgkinson for the explorer and prospector James Venture Mulligan. The river crosses the pastoral Channel Country.
