Mount Philp

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

Gazetted name -27.87337, 152.25562 Main Range Conservation Park · Conservation Park mountain

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

Public land — inside Main Range Conservation Park. 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 mountain — high ground rising clearly above what surrounds it, named by the register at a single coordinate somewhere on its high ground. Where the top of a mountain is, exactly, is not something a single coordinate settles, and whether the last of the climb can be walked is not something any register records.

No watercourse the register names runs within range of Mount Philp. 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 Main Range 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 basalt, mapped as Main Range Volcanics (Tm) , eocene - miocene in age. The survey describes it as: Olivine basalt Official spatial — evidence class

The register maps 2 ecosystems over this ground, each with the share of it the register states.

Where it is

Map

Map of Mount Philp 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 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 8 published of 11 computed

11 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.
