Witton Creek from Tatong Street

entry is a road 45 m of climb chain confidence Statutory inference — evidence class witton-creek--from-tatong-street

Access verdict · Lawful, with caveats · weakest evidence in the chain: statutory inference

A lawful approach from Tatong Street, with caveats.

The chain below runs entirely across land the public has an established right to be on. It is a legal line, not a path: nothing here has been surveyed on the ground.

What this verdict means · what the evidence grades mean

On-ground signage and temporary closures override this page. Always.

Getting to the start The trailhead coordinate, not the feature

The start is at -27.49427, 152.96486

That is Tatong Street, where the walk below begins — 6.9 km of it. Every link here goes to that coordinate and never to the feature itself, because a driving route to a waterfall is a driving route into the country above one.

-27.49427, 152.96486

An ordinary car reaches the start The roads layer marks the road reaching this point as trafficable by an ordinary vehicle.

The coordinate is where the recorded way begins, read off the same layers as the walk. What the record says about a vehicle is above, and it describes this point rather than the drive to it. Whether the road is sealed, gated, or open today, and where a car may lawfully be left, are none of them things these records say — so treat the last few kilometres as unresearched, and the mapping service's route to them as its own work, not ours.

Every leg above is computed from cadastral geometry. Nobody has walked it, and no part of it is a path on the ground: it is the line along which the public record establishes a right to be. Where a leg names a way, that is what a managing authority has mapped down the same ground — it says nothing more about your right to be there, which the parcel already settled.

Caveats — what has to be said before walking this

  • Corner-point junction. Two parcels in the chain meet at a single survey point. They are legally continuous public land, but the junction has no width on the ground.
  • Watercourse crossing. The chain crosses a watercourse bed. The bed is State land by statutory inference, there is no structure, and the crossing is off in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3240114 and 3241520 is 2.39 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3063072 and 3106012 is 36.64 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3070938 and 3107152 is 120.72 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3106012 and 3107076 is 156.63 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3107152 and 3109090 is 186.12 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3107076 and 3110382 is 141.12 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3109090 and 3110534 is 359.08 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3110382 and 3110762 is 105.29 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3110534 and 3129192 is 95.04 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3110762 and 3129382 is 103.07 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3129192 and 3130750 is 127.44 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3129382 and 3130560 is 53.80 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3130560 and 3114486 is 247.33 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.

  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3007934 and 3028644 is 247.64 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3011012 and 3027732 is 125.31 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3028644 and 3137362 is 236.29 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 3027732 and 3138084 is 84.14 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The gap between the parcels either side of this crossing could not be measured from the geometry, which is a reason for more caution, not less.

Following it on the ground No published way to follow

at least 3 hours out and back

at least 1½ hours there at least 1½ hours back

45 m up and 75 m down on the way out — so the return leg climbs 75 m.

Walking only — nothing is counted for rest, water, photographs, navigation, or the state of the track.

Naismith's rule, and what it does not account for

No directions are published for this approach. The chain above is a statement about permission, not a path, and turning a run of parcels into "walk north-east for 380 m" would tell you where to walk on evidence nobody holds — including where a way is mapped along it, because what was measured is the chain and not the way. Steps appear here only for a route that follows a surveyed way end to end.

The profile is the height the contour layer already records, read along the same line the legs above describe. It is not a survey of a path: nothing here says the ground between two contours is even, and a layer of 5.0 m contours cannot evidence a step smaller than the gap between them.
