The extent of the 1980 subdivision is evident. The larger map shows properties which have some level of settlement (as of 2003) - ranging from houses to shacks. Unfortunately this ap does not give topographic information, or minor water courses. The dark blocks are the blocks purchased in 1994 as part the Daintree Rescue Program. The white blocks are not necessarily cleared, but are privately owned blocks, many of which are available for "buy-back".
