If it is in the area north of the Daintree River that is a famous problem spot in real estate, as it has been subject to a big conservation battle. The land in the mountains is in national parks and in a World Heritage Area. Parts of the coast are privately owned. The land north of the river is accessed by ferry and an upaved road (and thi s is a rainforest climate) from Cooktown to the north. There is no electric power either. People who subdivided and sold land there claimed and those who bought assumed a bridge would be built, the road paved and electric power connected. But it hasn't. My former PhD student (he switched to another more suitable department, I just inherited him from a departing academic) was doing research on that dispute. That would be a guess, but I may be wrong. Would be interesting to get exact location.
