Cainbable Falls
Access verdict · tier 2 of 4 · confidence B (official spatial record, the weakest grade in the chain)
Public land. No formal track reaches it.
Being at this point is lawful on the records below. Getting there is a separate question, answered route by route — and each route carries its own tier and its own caveats.
- 1 · Formal track A managed track on public estate, end to end. Walk it.
- 2 · Public estate, no track Lawful to be there; unmanaged terrain and route caveats below. This page is here.
- 3 · Unconfirmed No lawful chain could be established from the public record. No route published.
- 4 · No lawful route Enclosed by land the public has no right to cross. No route published.
On-ground signage and temporary closures override this page. Always.
On the record — what the registers actually say Dataset versions in the footer
| Claim | What the record says | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Name | "Cainbable Falls" is a community record only — absent from the gazetteer and from the state feature layer. | D — provenance grade D: Community record |
| Tenure | Resolved to Freehold, recorded as "Freehold". | B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record |
| Parcel | 10RP172327 | B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record |
| Estate | This point falls outside every protected-area estate polygon in the snapshot. | — |
| Feature | Found by the terrain rule falls-rule/1: a drop of 12.0 m over a run of 38.7 m in the published contours. A rule fired — nobody surveyed it. | C — provenance grade C: Statutory inference |
Officially this place exists only as an unnamed feature on public land. The name is community record at grade D; everything else on this page is computed from grades A to C, and the two are never mixed.
Where it is
Map
Context map for Cainbable Falls: parcels, corridors, estate and tracks around the point.
What the colours mean
- Freehold or leasehold — no public access
- National park / protected estate — public land
- Road reserve
- Watercourse
- Track recorded by the managing authority
- Tenure unresolved — treated as no access
- The published chain — a legal line, not a path
- Watercourse crossing — no structure, off in high flow
Sources, licences and dataset versions are listed in the footer of this page.
Every figure the map would draw — parcel references, distances, bearings and the crossing gap — is written out in full on this page, so nothing is only visible on the map. If the map does not load, nothing has been lost.

Before you go Published alerts as at the snapshot date in the footer
No alert was published for this area in the snapshot this page was built from. That is not the same as "open": many managing authorities publish no machine-readable status at all, so an absence of alerts is an absence of information.
On Country
Registered Aboriginal cultural heritage party: Danggan Balun (Five Rivers) People — this point falls inside the registered party boundary. B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record
A cultural heritage party boundary and a native title claim are different legal things. This page never conflates them, and it publishes neither as a permission.
All land and waters in Queensland carry a duty of care under s.23 of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (Qld) — including here. Cultural heritage site locations are restricted by law (ss.38–46), deliberately, for site protection. This site holds party boundaries only and will never republish site locations. Check the public register and, where in doubt, seek guidance from the Aboriginal party for the area.
Searching a register does not of itself satisfy the duty of care.
Rules here — derived from tenure no estate designation resolved
Conduct rules follow from tenure and the legislation that governs it. Nothing specific is inferred here, which means you should read the signs, not that no rules apply.
Statutes relied on: Nature Conservation Act 1992 (Qld) and its regulations for protected estate; Water Act 2000 (Qld) s.21 for watercourse beds; Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (Qld) ss.23 and 38–46 for the duty of care and for why site locations are never republished here.

What this page will never do
-
No user pins
Every fact here traces to a government layer or a statute and carries a grade, A to C. Community names are quarantined at grade D and labelled as such. Nothing on this page was dropped on a map by a stranger.
-
No invented lawfulness
Where tenure cannot be confirmed from the public record, the page says so instead of endorsing the route or quietly hiding it. Where no lawful corridor exists at all, none is published — the refusal is the answer.
-
No safety pretence
A tier is a tenure verdict, not a difficulty or safety rating. Unmanaged terrain, cliffs and flash flooding are not in the cadastre. The engine reads land records, not the weather.
