Gazetted name -27.58583, 152.72889 hill

Access verdict · Lawful, with caveats · 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 hill — high ground rising above what surrounds it, but not far enough that the register reached for the word mountain. The choice between the two words is the namer's and the register records no height to check it against, so nothing about the size of the climb should be read from which word appears here.

No watercourse the register names runs within range of Vaughan Hill. 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 sandstone and mudstone, mapped as Tivoli Formation (Rit) , late triassic in age. The survey describes it as: Sandstone, shale, siltstone, coal 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 Vaughan Hill and the starts of the 18 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 No published way within range

No vetted way the managing authority publishes comes within range of this point. That is a fact about the access record, not about the ground: an unmapped pad may well exist, and this site will not invent one on the strength of that.

Approaches — one page each 18 published of 207 computed

207 ways in were computed and 18 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.
