Salmons Saddle

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

Gazetted name -28.15250, 153.26750 pass

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 pass — a low point in a ridge or range, and usually the reason a way goes where it does. The register names the gap rather than the way through it, so a pass being named here says nothing about whether anything crosses it now.

No watercourse the register names runs within range of Salmons Saddle. 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 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 felsic volcanic rock, mapped as Binna Burra Rhyolite (Tlr) , oligocene - miocene in age. The survey describes it as: Rhyolitic tuffs and lavas Official spatial — evidence class

The remnant vegetation mapping records no ecosystem over this point. That covers remnant vegetation only, so it is what the register says about ground that has been cleared, or is water, sand or rock — not a statement that nothing grows here.

Where it is

Map

Map of Salmons Saddle and the starts of the 5 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

Springbrook Road passes 14 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 5 published of 18 computed

18 ways in were computed and 5 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.
