Tenison Woods Mountain
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. 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 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 Tenison Woods Mountain. 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 basalt, mapped as
Tv-SEQ (Tv) , tertiary in age. The survey
describes it as: Mainly basalt flows
Official spatial — evidence class
The register maps one ecosystem over this ground, each with the share of it the register states.

Where it is
Map
Map of Tenison Woods Mountain and the starts of the 2 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.

The way reaches this place Official spatial — evidence class
Tenison Woods Road passes 12 m from the recorded point. The gap crosses no contour, which is as level as this layer can evidence — not a survey saying the ground is flat.
Both gaps are small enough that the way is a way to this place, not merely one near it.
Approaches — one page each 2 published of 4 computed
4 ways in were computed and 2 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 no estate designation resolved
Conduct rules follow from tenure and the legislation that governs it. Nothing specific is inferred here, which means you should read the signs, not that no rules apply.
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.
