Steve,
I was up in the cape last year and the area you are talking about is possible in a forrester. The only thing is that the road from Laura to Palerville via
Maytown was closed when we were there by the proprty owner on the Palmerville side of
Maytown and is unlikely to be opened in the near future we were advised at Laura. This mean we had to go via
Mareeba to Chillagoe. Also the old coach road to
Maytown wouldn't be suitable for a low clearance 4WD. It requires high clearance as some of the track iserroided and there are some big rock steps. Also Low range is advisable for some of the hills.
Happy Travels
Cashy

Thanks Cashy, I know about the
Maytown story but am intending to go along the Penninsula Development Rd to Fairview then Palmerville. I guess my main concern is the Mitchell River
