Moffat Crossing

Lawful route land the public may cross — no track, you navigate it

Gazetted name -28.17131, 153.30816 ford

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

Public land. No published track reaches it — the lawful ground to it is a chain of parcels.

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 ford — a place a way crosses a watercourse at the level of the bed. The register names the crossing; it records nothing about depth or flow, and a ford is exactly the feature whose passability changes with the weather rather than with the map.

Moffat Crossing sits on Mudgeeraba Creek. The surveyed centreline of that watercourse runs 15.7 m from the recorded point, which is the whole evidence for saying it is this one. Official spatial — evidence class

The point falls outside every protected-area estate in the snapshot.

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

The rock at the surface is sedimentary rock, mapped as Neranleigh-Fernvale beds (DCf) , devonian - carboniferous in age. The survey describes it as: Mudstone, shale, arenite, chert, jasper, basic metavolcanics, pillow lava, conglomerate 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

Map of Moffat Crossing and the starts of the 8 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.

Is there a track to it Measured in plan and in section

The way reaches this place Official spatial — evidence class

Austinville Road 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.

Approaches — one page each 8 published of 24 computed

24 ways in were computed and 8 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.
