Lawful route land the public may cross — no track, you navigate it

Community name D -27.91491, 153.17547 Tamborine National Park · National Park waterfall

A Gazetted / register — The fact is itself a statutory record.
B Official spatial record — Read from a maintained government layer.
C Statutory inference — Law applied to B-grade records; not ground-truthed.
D Community record — Community sources; labelled, never blended into A–C.

Access verdict · tier 1 of 4 · confidence B (official spatial record, the weakest grade in the chain)

Public land — inside Tamborine National Park. 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 tier and its own caveats.

1 · Lawful, nothing to flag Every leg is ground the public may cross, and nothing about the chain needs a warning. Whether a built track runs along it is said separately. This page is here.
2 · Lawful, with caveats A lawful chain with at least one thing about it that has to be said first.
3 · Unconfirmed No lawful chain could be established from the public record. No route published.
4 · No lawful route Enclosed by land the public has no right to cross. No route published.

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.

Cameron Falls sits on Sandy Creek. The surveyed centreline of that watercourse runs 0.0 m from the recorded point, which is the whole evidence for saying it is this one. B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record

The point falls inside Tamborine National Park, designated National Park. B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record

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 17.0 m along the watercourse — the test the rule applies, not the height of the fall. Its steepest single stretch drops 5.0 m over 0.9 m of ground — 5.5 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. C — provenance grade C: Statutory inference

Feature	Found by the terrain rule falls-rule/1, which fired because the bed loses 15.0 m within 17.0 m — the threshold it tests, not the height of the fall. Steepest stretch measured: 5.0 m over 0.9 m. A rule fired — nobody surveyed it.	C — provenance grade C: Statutory inference

Officially this place exists only as an unnamed feature on public land. The name is community record at grade D; everything else on this page is computed from grades A to C, and the two are never mixed.

Where it is

Map

Context map for Cameron Falls: parcels, corridors, estate and tracks around the point.

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 reaches this place B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record

Knoll Circuit passes 21 m from the recorded point. There is 10 m of climb or drop between the two, read at a 5.0 m contour interval.

Both gaps are small enough that the way is a way to this place, not merely one near it.

113 ways in were computed and 13 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.
