EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the picturesque township of Mount Molloy, nestled approximately 55km northwest of Cairns in Queensland, Australia. With a rich history dating back to the 1890s, this charming town initially flourished due to its copper mine and timber industry. However, today it is the thriving cattle grazing sector that takes center stage in this region. As sunlight dances off the corrugated iron roofs, one can't help but marvel at the resilience and character displayed by these humble structures. The noon-time glow illuminates every detail of Mount Molloy's unique architecture. A significant piece of local history lies within this frame as well - the now-closed railway line to Mareeba. Once a vital transportation route connecting various towns, it serves as a reminder of how times have changed. The Mulligan Highway gracefully cuts through Mount Molloy, linking Cairns with Cooktown. This scenic road not only connects communities but also offers breathtaking views along its path. Photography by Mangiwau has masterfully captured this timeless image that showcases both natural beauty and human ingenuity. It serves as a testament to the ever-evolving landscape and highlights how Mount Molloy continues to adapt while preserving its heritage for generations to come.
