Scenic Rim B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record · Scenic Rim · QLD
Mount Barney (East)
Lawful route land the public may cross — no track, you navigate it
Access verdict · tier 1 of 4 · confidence B (official spatial record, the weakest grade in the chain)
Public land — inside Mount Barney 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 peak — a defined high point rather than a broad summit — a pinnacle, a plug, a rock. Many are bare rock with no walked way to the top at all, and no register records which ones those are, so nearness to the coordinate is emphatically not the same as standing on it.
No watercourse the register names runs within range of Mount Barney (East). 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 inside Mount Barney National Park, designated National Park. B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record

Where it is
Map
Context map for Mount Barney (East): parcels, corridors, estate and tracks around the point.
What the colours mean
- Freehold or leasehold — no public access
- National park / protected estate — public land
- Road reserve
- Watercourse
- Track recorded by the managing authority
- Contour, every 10 m of height — nothing is implied about the ground between two of them
- Tenure unresolved — treated as no access
- Where your device says you are, shown only if you press the locate button — read as a rough fix, not a position, and never sent anywhere
- A place with a published approach — the pin is a link to it
- A place with none — every one is listed under the map with its tier in words
- The walk — the line the legs below describe, not a surveyed path
- The parcels it crosses — the evidence the walk is lawful
- Watercourse crossing — no structure, off in high flow
Names on the map come from the same official records as the rest of the page — road and track names from the cadastre and the access layer, watercourses and estates from their own layers. A feature the record does not name is left unlabelled rather than guessed at.
Sources, licences and dataset versions are listed in the footer of this page.
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 B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record
The nearest published way passes 27 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.

Before you go Published alerts as at the snapshot date in the footer
No alert was published for this area in the snapshot this page was built from. That is not the same as "open": many managing authorities publish no machine-readable status at all, so an absence of alerts is an absence of information.
On Country
Registered Aboriginal cultural heritage party: Danggan Balun (Five Rivers) People — this point falls inside the registered party boundary. B — provenance grade B: Official spatial record
A cultural heritage party boundary and a native title claim are different legal things. This page never conflates them, and it publishes neither as a permission.
All land and waters in Queensland carry a duty of care under s.23 of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (Qld) — including here. Cultural heritage site locations are restricted by law (ss.38–46), deliberately, for site protection. This site holds party boundaries only and will never republish site locations. Check the public register and, where in doubt, seek guidance from the Aboriginal party for the area.
Searching a register does not of itself satisfy the duty of care.
Rules here — derived from tenure National Park · statutory inference
This point sits on protected estate. In Queensland that ordinarily means no dogs or pets, no open fires outside provided facilities, no camping outside designated areas, no drones without authority, and nothing taken. These follow from the tenure and the legislation that governs it — they are an inference, at grade C, not a copy of a sign.
Statutes relied on: Nature Conservation Act 1992 (Qld) and its regulations for protected estate; Water Act 2000 (Qld) s.21 for watercourse beds; Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (Qld) ss.23 and 38–46 for the duty of care and for why site locations are never republished here.

What this page will never do
-
No user pins
Every fact here traces to a government layer or a statute and carries a grade, A to C. Community names are quarantined at grade D and labelled as such. Nothing on this page was dropped on a map by a stranger.
-
No invented lawfulness
Where tenure cannot be confirmed from the public record, the page says so instead of endorsing the route or quietly hiding it. Where no lawful corridor exists at all, none is published — the refusal is the answer.
-
No safety pretence
A tier is a tenure verdict, not a difficulty or safety rating. Unmanaged terrain, cliffs and flash flooding are not in the cadastre. The engine reads land records, not the weather.
