Maytown, once the bustling administrative hub of the Palmer River Goldfields in Far North Queensland, now stands as a ghost town, offering a glimpse into its rich past. Established in the 1870s, it boasted a population of around 700 by 1900, with a mix of European and Chinese residents. Today, visitors can explore remnants such as a brick baker's oven, stone kerbing, and a cemetery with approximately 40 identifiable graves. Accessible via four-wheel-drive tracks, Maytown provides a unique historical experience amidst rugged terrain.
