Amity Point from minimally formed natural track off Claytons Road

entry is a track 215 m of climb chain confidence Statutory inference — evidence class amity-point--from-minimally-formed-natural-track-off-claytons-road-3

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

A lawful approach from minimally formed natural track off Claytons Road, 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.

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

Getting to the start The trailhead coordinate, not the feature

The start is at -27.40371, 153.44728

That is minimally formed natural track off Claytons Road, where the walk below begins — 18.3 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.

-27.40371, 153.44728

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 2128320 and 528499 is 361.44 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 528537 and 529069 is 2159.18 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 528499 and 528651 is 1915.44 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 529069 and 528993 is 1548.75 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 528651 and 528955 is 875.89 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 528993 and 3646717 is 763.40 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 528955 and 528917 is 0.00 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 8 hours out and back

at least 4 hours there at least 4 hours back

215 m up and 220 m down on the way out — so the return leg climbs 220 m.

This walk is 8 hours out and back at a minimum, past the 8 hours this site plans a day walk against. It is published in full and it is not a day walk: plan it as an overnight trip, or turn around at a time you choose before you set off rather than at the fall.

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 665 m of this 18350 m chain — about 4% 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.

  • Legs 6–8 an unnamed formed sealed Official spatial — evidence class

    665 m along it · the managing authority publishes it as open to the public .

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.
