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

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 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.

Curtis Falls sits on Cedar Creek. The surveyed centreline of that watercourse runs 22.8 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 outside every protected-area estate in the snapshot.

No register consulted records how far the water falls, and nothing here estimates it. This place is published because a register says it is here, not because a rule found it.

Where it is

Map

Context map for Curtis 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

The nearest published way passes 16 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 15 published of 144 computed

144 ways in were computed and 15 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.
