Access verdict · Lawful, nothing to flag · weakest evidence in the chain: official spatial record

Public land — inside Burleigh Head National Park. A published 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 verdict and its own caveats.

What this place is A definition, then the record

A cape — land reaching out into the water, named at a single coordinate somewhere on it. Nothing in the register says how far out the point of it lies, and the last of a cape is often rock the water covers, so nearness to the coordinate is not the same as standing at the end.

No watercourse the register names runs within range of Burleigh Head. The layer maps far more creeks than it has ever named, so that is a gap in the record rather than dry ground.

The point falls inside Burleigh Head National Park, designated National Park. Official spatial — evidence class

The point falls outside every World Heritage property the state maps.

The rock at the surface is basalt, mapped as Lamington Group (Tvl) , oligocene - miocene in age. The survey describes it as: Basalt, sub-alkali basalt with members of rhyolite, trachyte, tuff, agglomerate, conglomerate and andesite Official spatial — evidence class

The register maps one ecosystem over this ground, each with the share of it the register states.

100% — Complex notophyll vine forest on Cainozoic igneous rocks, usually at altitude less than 600m 12.8.3 · Least concern Official spatial — evidence class

Where it is

Map

Map of Burleigh Head and the starts of the 7 published approaches to it, over the parcels, corridors, estate and tracks around them.

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.

The way reaches this place Official spatial — evidence class

Rainforest Circuit passes 5 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.

Approaches — one page each 7 published of 152 computed

152 ways in were computed and 7 are published here. The rest either reach the same ground from a few hundred metres away — the same drive and the same walk — or reach no lawful chain at all, which is only worth saying when nothing else does.
