On 14 August 1872, William Hann's exploration party found gold in the bed of the Palmer River. His reports of the find led to the establishment of Cooktown and a rush to the Palmer goldfields. The first miners arrived at the Palmer overland from west of Cairns. One of these parties, led by James Mulligan, won 102 oz of gold (around 3kg) in just 3 months. When reports of Mulligan's success were reported the rush for gold began in earnest.George Dalrymple was dispatched to investigate the feasibility of a port on the Endeavour River.
Before receiving his report, the Leichhardt was sent with Government staff and prospective settlers. Dalrymple's party arrived at the Endeavour River on 24 October 1873. The Leichhardt steamed into the harbour one day later on 25 October. On board were Archibald Campbell MacMillan an engineer, who was to establish the overland track to the goldfield and seventy nine miners.
