Middle Kobble Creek Waterfall

No way in found nothing was proposed as a way in, within the area searched

Community name -27.27171, 152.77163 D'Aguilar National Park · National Park waterfall

Access verdict · Unconfirmed · weakest evidence in the chain: official spatial record

Nothing was tested — no starting point was found to test from.

No lawful starting point exists within 2.0 km of this place: no road the public may drive running down a corridor they may stand on, and no trailhead the managing authority publishes. Nothing was refused here, because there was nothing to refuse. The place is published so the gap in the record is visible rather than quietly dropped.

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.

No watercourse the register names runs within range of Middle Kobble Creek Waterfall. 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 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.

  • 100% — Eucalyptus siderophloia, E. propinqua +/- E. microcorys, Lophostemon confertus, Corymbia intermedia, E. acmenoides open forest on metamorphics +/- interbedded volcanics 12.11.3 · Least concern Official spatial — evidence class

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 16.8 m along the watercourse — the test the rule applies, not the height of the fall. Its steepest single stretch drops 5.0 m over 3.2 m of ground — 1.6 m down for every metre 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

Name "Middle Kobble Creek Waterfall" is a community record only — absent from the gazetteer and from the state feature layer. Community — 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 No named watercourse in the snapshot runs within range of this point. The layer maps many creeks it has never named. —
Feature Found by the terrain rule falls-rule/1, which fired because the bed loses 15.0 m within 16.8 m — the threshold it tests, not the height of the fall. Steepest stretch measured: 5.0 m over 3.2 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

Context map for Middle Kobble Creek Waterfall: parcels, corridors, estate and tracks around the point. No approach was published, so no start is marked.

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 stops short of this place Official spatial — evidence class

Middle Kobble Break passes 85 m from the recorded point. There is 10 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 way passes further off than anything the record can call a way to this place — or, where being above or below a feature is no answer at all, it is on the wrong level of it. Two measurements are used rather than one precisely so neither distance nor height can settle this on its own. Nothing here says how to close the remaining gap: no authority has surveyed a way across it, and a bearing off the end of a track is exactly the guess this site refuses to make.

Approaches — one page each no starting point within 2.0 km

There was nothing to compute

Not one lawful starting point was found within 2.0 km, so no approach was solved and none was refused. The records place this feature beyond every road and trailhead they describe. Publishing that emptiness is the point: it is where the record stops, and it is not a licence to head in on a bearing.

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.
