Sunshine Creek from East Weyba Section Flagship Break

entry is a track 190 m of climb chain confidence Statutory inference — evidence class sunshine-creek--from-east-weyba-section-flagship-break

Access verdict · Lawful, with caveats · weakest evidence in the chain: statutory inference

A lawful approach from East Weyba Section Flagship Break, with caveats.

The chain below runs entirely across land the public has an established right to be on. It is a legal line, not a path: nothing here has been surveyed on the ground.

What this verdict means · what the evidence grades mean

On-ground signage and temporary closures override this page. Always.

Getting to the start The trailhead coordinate, not the feature

The start is at -26.42703, 153.10280

That is East Weyba Section Flagship Break, where the walk below begins — 14.2 km of it. Every link here goes to that coordinate and never to the feature itself, because a driving route to a waterfall is a driving route into the country above one.

-26.42703, 153.10280

Four-wheel-drive only The roads layer marks the road reaching this point as four-wheel-drive. A vehicle that gets most of the way along a road like this can still be stopped by the last of it.

The coordinate is where the recorded way begins, read off the same layers as the walk. What the record says about a vehicle is above, and it describes this point rather than the drive to it. Whether the road is sealed, gated, or open today, and where a car may lawfully be left, are none of them things these records say — so treat the last few kilometres as unresearched, and the mapping service's route to them as its own work, not ours.

Every leg above is computed from cadastral geometry. Nobody has walked it, and no part of it is a path on the ground: it is the line along which the public record establishes a right to be. Where a leg names a way, that is what a managing authority has mapped down the same ground — it says nothing more about your right to be there, which the parcel already settled.

Caveats — what has to be said before walking this

  • Corner-point junction. Two parcels in the chain meet at a single survey point. They are legally continuous public land, but the junction has no width on the ground.
  • Watercourse crossing. The chain crosses a watercourse bed. The bed is State land by statutory inference, there is no structure, and the crossing is off in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 2997324 and 940705 is 1626.69 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 940591 and 940667 is 0.00 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 940705 and 1243299 is 0.00 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 940667 and 167CP849516 is 19.37 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 167CP849516 and 1243261 is 0.00 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 1243033 and 1182461 is 65.44 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 1243261 and 1180181 is 50.66 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 1182461 and 1194127 is 282.58 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 1194127 and 1190783 is 46.11 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 1199067 and 1190745 is 140.28 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 1190783 and 1246985 is 0.00 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 1190745 and 522989 is 732.18 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 1246985 and 890279 is 1498.51 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 147NPW889 and 523331 is 1113.92 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The gap between the parcels either side of this crossing could not be measured from the geometry, which is a reason for more caution, not less.

Following it on the ground No steps, but the record maps ground here

at least 6¼ hours out and back

at least 3 hours there at least 3¼ hours back

190 m up and 205 m down on the way out — so the return leg climbs 205 m.

Walking only — nothing is counted for rest, water, photographs, navigation, or the state of the track.

Naismith's rule, and what it does not account for

What is mapped along this chain

A managing authority has surveyed a way along 40 m of this 14163 m chain — about 0% of it. That is a statement about what is on the ground, not about your right to be there, which the parcels above already settled, and not a direction: no step below is measured along any of these ways.

  • Leg 18 Noosa Headland pathway Official spatial — evidence class

    40 m along it · the managing authority publishes it as open to the public (Local Government Authority).

No directions are published for this approach. The chain above is a statement about permission, not a path, and turning a run of parcels into "walk north-east for 380 m" would tell you where to walk on evidence nobody holds — including where a way is mapped along it, because what was measured is the chain and not the way. Steps appear here only for a route that follows a surveyed way end to end.

The profile is the height the contour layer already records, read along the same line the legs above describe. It is not a survey of a path: nothing here says the ground between two contours is even, and a layer of 5.0 m contours cannot evidence a step smaller than the gap between them.
