The Horseshoe

Lawful route — caveats lawful, with something that needs saying first

Gazetted name -27.50229, 153.35885 beach

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

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.

What this place is A definition, then the record

A beach — a shore of sand or shingle along the water. The register names the beach and nothing about its ends, so where one stops and the next begins is not a line this site can draw — and nothing here records the tide, which is what decides whether a beach is a walk or a swim.

No watercourse the register names runs within range of The Horseshoe. 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 unconsolidated sediment, mapped as Qhmr-QLD (Qhmr) , holocene in age. The survey describes it as: Carbonate gravel, sand and coral rock; fringing/nearshore reef Official spatial — evidence class

The remnant vegetation mapping records no ecosystem over this point. That covers remnant vegetation only, so it is what the register says about ground that has been cleared, or is water, sand or rock — not a statement that nothing grows here.

Where it is

Map

Map of The Horseshoe and the starts of the 6 published approaches to it, over the parcels, corridors, estate and tracks around them.

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 passes this place Official spatial — evidence class

Beach Track passes 73 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.

The way comes close enough to be a way to this place without the record establishing that it ends at it. A register gives a feature one coordinate and a feature is not a point, so the two measurements above are the whole of the claim: how far off the way passes, and what height separates the two. Nothing here says the last of that gap can be crossed. Whether there is a lawful way to that way is a separate question, and the approaches below are where it is answered.

Approaches — one page each 6 published of 12 computed

12 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.
