Lakeland's Local Moving Specialists
Lakeland is a small rural township at the junction of the Mulligan Highway and the Peninsula Development Road — the last sealed road intersection before the Cape York Peninsula proper begins. The township serves travellers and residents heading to Laura, Cooktown or further north, and its agricultural surrounds include cattle and sugarcane farming on the Lakeland Downs plateau.
Moves to and from Lakeland benefit from good sealed access on the Mulligan Highway, making this one of the more accessible remote locations in Northern Cairns. However, the rural properties surrounding the township are typically on unsealed tracks that can deteriorate significantly during the wet season. We assess individual property access carefully and recommend dry-season moves for all off-highway destinations.
Lakeland's position at the junction of two major Cape York highways makes it a practical staging point for complex multi-destination moves further up the peninsula. If you are relocating to multiple properties or coordinating a move that extends beyond Lakeland towards Laura or Cooktown, our team can plan a combined run to maximise efficiency and reduce overall cost.
Our modern trucks are clean, well-maintained, and stocked with premium moving equipment including furniture blankets, tie-down straps, dollies, and protective padding. You won't find bare timber floors or loose loads with R2G.

The Mulligan Highway provides reliable sealed access.
Unlike many Northern Cairns locations, Lakeland township sits directly on the sealed Mulligan Highway, making it more accessible than surrounding areas. However, confirm your specific property address and any unsealed approach roads when booking.
Rural properties should move in the dry season.
Properties on the Lakeland Downs plateau on unsealed farming tracks can become boggy and inaccessible after rain. Schedule any off-highway moves between May and October for reliable access.
Lakeland is a practical staging point for multi-stop Cape York moves.
If you are coordinating a move that involves multiple properties or destinations along the Peninsula Development Road or Mulligan Highway north of Lakeland, contact us to discuss a combined run — this can significantly reduce cost and travel time.
Allow a full day for the 260km haul from Cairns.
The drive from Cairns to Lakeland via the Mulligan Highway takes approximately three hours each way. We plan early starts and factor total travel time into your quote to ensure the job is completed safely within daylight hours.
