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

Public land — inside Springbrook 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 lookout — a place built or cleared to be looked out from — a platform, a railing, a break in the trees at the edge of a fall. The register names the viewing place itself, not what is visible from it, so what a lookout looks over is not something this site can read off the record.

No watercourse the register names runs within range of Goomoolahra Lookout. 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 Springbrook National Park, designated National Park. Official spatial — evidence class

The point falls inside Gondwana Rainforests of Australia , a property inscribed on the World Heritage List. That is where the ground is, and it is not a statement about who may walk there — access is the tenure question above. Official spatial — evidence class

The rock at the surface is felsic volcanic rock, mapped as Springbrook Rhyolite (Tls) , oligocene - miocene in age. The survey describes it as: Rhyolite Official spatial — evidence class

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

Where it is

Map — covers Gold Coast

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

Panning stops just outside Gold Coast, because the map archive is published one council area at a time. Every other council area Public Trails covers has a map of its own.

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

The nearest published way passes 6 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 48 computed

48 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.
