Poondahra Falls from Canyon Lookout

start -28.22070, 153.27301 entry is a track 106 m of climb chain confidence B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record poondahra-falls--from-canyon-lookout
  • A Gazetted / register — The fact is itself a statutory record.
  • B Official spatial record — Read from a maintained government layer.
  • C Statutory inference — Law applied to B-grade records; not ground-truthed.
  • D Community record — Community sources; labelled, never blended into A–C.

Access verdict · tier 1 of 4 · confidence B (official spatial record, the weakest grade in the chain)

A lawful approach from Canyon Lookout.

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.

  1. 1 · Formal track A managed track on public estate, end to end. Walk it. This page is here.
  2. 2 · Public estate, no track Lawful to be there; unmanaged terrain and route caveats below.
  3. 3 · Unconfirmed No lawful chain could be established from the public record. No route published.
  4. 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.

The chain, leg by leg Computed from cadastral geometry; never walked

Legs of the computed corridor, in order, with the grade of the record that made each one lawful
# Runs along Parcel / reference Distance Bearing Evidence
1 Protected estate 5AP19371 762.5 m 358.2° N B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record
Total 762.5 m Chain confidence B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record

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.

Following it on the ground No published way to follow

No directions are published for this approach. The chain above is a statement about permission, not a path: nobody has surveyed a way along it, and turning a run of parcels into "walk north-east for 380 m" would tell you where to walk on evidence nobody holds. Where a managing authority does publish a way in, the steps appear here.

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 1.0 m contours cannot evidence a step smaller than the gap between them.

Route map: 1 legs from Canyon Lookout, 762.5 m in total.

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.

What this verdict rests on Grades compose to the weakest link

  • The destination sits on Springbrook National Park B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record

    Parcel 5AP19371, recorded tenure "National Park". Being at the destination and reaching it are separate questions, and this page answers only the second.

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.

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