Thanks cosmic; I had read those posts... I was just recapping whilst virtually banging my head against my computer screen!

I've just been ~~messing about on~~ using Google Mars with the latest .kml file, and if you stretch the vertical exaggeration to 3 the true nature of Cape York becomes clearer...

When you look at it more closely it looks like material flowed and rolled over Cape York from the west, doesn't it..?
