Tamarramai Falls from Twin Falls Circuit

entry is a track 92 m of climb chain confidence B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record tamarramai-falls--from-twin-falls-circuit
  • 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 Twin Falls Circuit.

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.

Getting to the start The trailhead coordinate, not the feature

The start is at -28.22067, 153.27304

That is Twin Falls Circuit, where the walk below begins — 791 m 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.

-28.22067, 153.27304

The coordinate is where the recorded way begins, read off the same layers as the walk. Which roads reach it, whether they are 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.

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

# Runs along Parcel / reference Distance Bearing Evidence
1 Track Twin Falls Circuit 791.0 m 143.6° SE B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record
Total 791.0 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 Every step ends at something you can check

The way reaches this place B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record

Twin Falls Circuit passes 1 m from the recorded point. The gap crosses no contour, which is as level as this layer can evidence — not a survey saying the ground is flat.

Both gaps are small enough that the way is a way to this place, not merely one near it.

  1. Follow Twin Falls Circuit for 258 m, setting off S (174°), to the junction with Twin Falls Circuit.

    Back: 354° along Twin Falls Circuit, 258 m from the start.

  2. Follow Twin Falls Circuit for 244 m, setting off S (169°), to the junction with Twin Falls Circuit.

    Back: 349° along Twin Falls Circuit, 502 m from the start.

  3. Follow Twin Falls Circuit for 167 m, setting off NE (52°), to the junction with Twin Falls Circuit.

    Back: 232° along Twin Falls Circuit, 669 m from the start.

  4. Follow Twin Falls Circuit for 113 m, setting off E (101°), to the junction with Warrie Circuit.

    Back: 281° along Twin Falls Circuit, 782 m from the start.

  5. Follow Twin Falls Circuit for 9 m, setting off SSW (199°), to arrive.

    Back: 19° along Twin Falls Circuit, 791 m from the start.

791 m in total, along the way the managing authority publishes. Every step above ends at something the records let you check on the ground. Bearings are true, not magnetic: they match a phone compass with no conversion. In this part of Queensland a magnetic bezel reads about 11° east of them, so an analogue compass needs that taken off before you set it.

What each step ends at, and why B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record
junction
A junction with another published way. Unmissable on the ground, and the place a wrong turn happens.
destination
The place itself, which is always where the last step ends.

A cadastral parcel boundary is never one of them. It is invisible on the ground, so a step that ended at one could never be checked — however convenient it looks in the data.

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 Twin Falls Circuit, 791.0 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 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.
