I have just spent 20 mins on Google maps, where is Palmerville? I've followed the Palmer river from its source to Palmerville end of 4WD track. there is a Palmerville road at
Laura, there is a
Chillagoe but no Palmerville
Just curious since Google doesn't know where it is either

Hi Outback Wanderers go to
Laura and then drop down to
Maytown and then you will see Palmerville.
Cheers

i was up there this last week and Fitzies are working on the road from
Maytown to Palmerville and it is very good. I believe the rest to
Chillagoe is ok and you should not have too much trouble.

Yep. On it three days ago. Came off the BDR to palmerville on the Mt Mulgrave Rd then right towards
maytown. The road has just been done up and is magnificent. The track into
Maytown is a challenge though. Cheers.

Drove through from the
Laura end right through to
Chillagoe about a week ago nice drive and you wont have any problems. Creek crossings and opening and closing gates will slow you up a bit in about the middle section.
Cheers, Mark.

Hi Mark
We have plans to drive from
Laura to Fairwiew, Palmerville Station, Mount Mulgrave and then to
Chillagoe. I think you drove the same way. How long was your drive?
Kind regards from Switzerland, Thomas
