White Rock

Track to a place to see it from a published way, with steps to follow

Gazetted name Difficulty: Unclassified -27.69500, 152.86500 White Rock Conservation Park · Conservation Park hill

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

Public land — inside White Rock Conservation 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 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 White Rock. 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 White Rock Conservation Park, designated Conservation Park. Official spatial — evidence class

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

The rock at the surface is sandstone, mapped as Ripley Road Sandstone (RJbwr) , late triassic - early jurassic in age. The survey describes it as: Sublabile to quartzose sandstone, minor mudstone Official spatial — evidence class

The register maps 3 ecosystems over this ground, each with the share of it the register states.

65% — Corymbia citriodora subsp. variegata +/- Eucalyptus crebra open forest on sedimentary rocks 12.9-10.2 · Least concern Official spatial — evidence class
20% — Eucalyptus crebra +/- E. tereticornis, Corymbia tessellaris, Angophora spp. and E. melanophloia woodland on sedimentary rocks 12.9-10.7 · Of concern Official spatial — evidence class
15% — Eucalyptus fibrosa subsp. fibrosa woodland on sedimentary rocks 12.9-10.19 · Least concern Official spatial — evidence class

Where it is

Map

Map of White Rock 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.

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

The way reaches somewhere to see it from Official spatial — evidence class

White Rock Base Track passes 70 m from the recorded point. There is 20 m of climb or drop between the two, read at a 5.0 m contour interval. The contours give the height between them and never which way round it is, so this is a separation and not a descent to plan.

The register signs this way for this place, and it comes within reach of it and stops above or below it — so it is where the walk is meant to end, and what it ends at is a view rather than the feature itself. No approach to it is published from here, though: that is a separate question about who may lawfully cross the ground in between, and the approaches below are where it is answered.

Approaches — one page each 5 published of 33 computed

33 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.
