Greenes Falls
Lawful route land the public may cross — no track, you navigate it
Access verdict · Lawful, nothing to flag · weakest evidence in the chain: official spatial record
Public land — inside D'Aguilar National 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.
On-ground signage and temporary closures override this page. Always.
What this place is A definition, then the record
A waterfall — a step in a watercourse steep enough that the water falls clear of the bed rather than running down it. The step is usually a band of harder rock the creek has been unable to cut through as fast as the softer rock below, so the drop moves slowly upstream over time and leaves a gorge behind it.
Greenes Falls sits on Cedar Creek. The surveyed centreline of that watercourse runs 0.0 m from the recorded point, which is the whole evidence for saying it is this one. Official spatial — evidence class
The point falls inside D'Aguilar National Park, designated National Park. Official spatial — evidence class
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.

No register records how far the water falls. What the contours record is this: the terrain rule fired here because the bed loses 15.0 m within 35.8 m along the watercourse — the test the rule applies, not the height of the fall. Its steepest single stretch drops 5.0 m over 10.8 m of ground — 1 m down for every 2.2 m along the bed. That is a floor and not a total: the contour interval is the smallest drop this layer can show, so the face is at least this steep and may be far more. Statutory inference — evidence class
On the record — what the registers actually say Sources, licences and dataset versions
| Claim | What the record says | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Name | "Greenes Falls" is a community record only — absent from the gazetteer and from the state feature layer. | Community — evidence class |
| Tenure | Resolved to Protected estate, recorded as "National Park". | Official spatial — evidence class |
| Parcel | 104NPW751 | Official spatial — evidence class |
| Council area | This place sits inside Moreton Bay, tested against the boundary that council area publishes. | Official spatial — evidence class |
| Estate | D'Aguilar National Park , designated National Park. Declared under the Nature Conservation Act 1992; IUCN category II; 39,129 ha as gazetted; current gazettal 7 Dec 2023; first gazetted 24 May 1930; no encumbrance recorded. | Official spatial — evidence class |
| Watercourse | Cedar Creek, whose surveyed centreline runs 0.0 m away. | Official spatial — evidence class |
| Feature | Found by the terrain rule falls-rule/1, which fired because the bed loses 15.0 m within 35.8 m — the threshold it tests, not the height of the fall. Steepest stretch measured: 5.0 m over 10.8 m. A rule fired — nobody surveyed it. | Statutory inference — evidence class |
Officially this place exists only as an unnamed feature on public land. The name is a community record; everything else on this page is computed from gazetted, official spatial or statutory-inference sources, and the two are never mixed.
Where it is
Map
Map of Greenes Falls and the starts of the 6 published approaches to it, over the parcels, corridors, estate and tracks around them.
What the colours mean
- Land — the council area the region is published under
- Water beyond the council boundary
- Freehold or leasehold — no public access
- National park / protected estate — public land
- Road reserve
- Watercourse
- Track recorded by the managing authority
- Contour, every 10 m of height — nothing is implied about the ground between two of them
- Tenure unresolved — treated as no access
- Where your device says you are, shown only if you press the locate button — read as a rough fix, not a position, and never sent anywhere
- A place with a published approach — the pin is a link to it
- A place with none — every one is listed under the map with its verdict in words
- Where a published approach starts — each one has a page of its own below
- The walk — the line the legs below describe, not a surveyed path
- The parcels it crosses — the evidence the walk is lawful
- Watercourse crossing — no structure, off in high flow
Names on the map come from the same official records as the rest of the page — road and track names from the cadastre and the access layer, watercourses and estates from their own layers. A feature the record does not name is left unlabelled rather than guessed at.
Sources, licences and dataset versions for everything this map draws.
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 6 published of 18 computed
18 ways in were computed and 6 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.

Before you go Published alerts as at the snapshot date
The authority that manages this area publishes its alerts as data, and it published none for here in the snapshot this page was built from. That is not the same as "open" — a snapshot is a moment, and conditions move faster than one.
On Country
Registered Aboriginal cultural heritage party: Jinibara People — this point falls inside the registered party boundary. Official spatial — evidence class
A cultural heritage party boundary and a native title claim are different legal things. This page never conflates them, and it publishes neither as a permission.
All land and waters in Queensland carry a duty of care under s.23 of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (Qld) — including here. Cultural heritage site locations are restricted by law (ss.38–46), deliberately, for site protection. This site holds party boundaries only and will never republish site locations. Check the public register and, where in doubt, seek guidance from the Aboriginal party for the area.
Searching a register does not of itself satisfy the duty of care.
Rules here — derived from tenure National Park · statutory inference
This point sits on protected estate. In Queensland that ordinarily means no dogs or pets, no open fires outside provided facilities, no camping outside designated areas, no drones without authority, and nothing taken. These follow from the tenure and the legislation that governs it — they are statutory inference, not a copy of a sign.
Statutes relied on: Nature Conservation Act 1992 (Qld) and its regulations for protected estate; Water Act 2000 (Qld) s.21 for watercourse beds; Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (Qld) ss.23 and 38–46 for the duty of care and for why site locations are never republished here.
