Rankins Falls from Carricks Road

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

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.

How much climbing Read off the published contour layer

Total climb

36.0 m

Total descent

48.0 m

Steepest sustained

21.5% over 60.4 m

Contour interval

1.0 m

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.

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.

• Leg 1: 5AP19371 carries a right of passage B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record

  170.0 m at 337.4°. Read from the mapped parcel geometry in the official layer, with no inference beyond what the record states.

  Leg reference 5AP19371 Grade B

• Leg 2: 5AP19371 carries a right of passage B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record

  254.8 m at 232.9°. Read from the mapped parcel geometry in the official layer, with no inference beyond what the record states.

  Leg reference 5AP19371 Grade B

• Leg 3: 3755173 carries a right of passage C — provenance grade C: Statutory inference

  18.7 m at 264.4°. The bed is State land by statutory inference from the Water Act 2000 (Qld) s.21 — law applied to a mapped parcel, not a finding by any authority.

  Leg reference 3755173 Grade C

• Leg 4: 5AP19371 carries a right of passage B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record

  470.9 m at 312.9°. Read from the mapped parcel geometry in the official layer, with no inference beyond what the record states.

  Leg reference 5AP19371 Grade B

• The chain is only as strong as its weakest link C — provenance grade C: Statutory inference

  Confidence is not an average. It is the weakest grade in the chain above, which is why a single inferred leg holds the whole route at grade C.

  Composition rule: weakest grade wins Applied at build time

If something goes wrong

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.
