Mount Clunie from minimally formed natural track (Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service)

entry is a track 565 m of climb chain confidence Statutory inference — evidence class mount-clunie--from-minimally-formed-natural-track-queensland-parks-and-wildlife-service
  • Gazetted — The fact is itself a statutory record.
  • Official spatial — Read from a maintained government layer.
  • Statutory inference — Law applied to an official spatial record; not ground-truthed.
  • Community — Community sources; labelled, never blended into the official classes.

Access verdict · Lawful, nothing to flag · weakest evidence in the chain: statutory inference

A lawful approach from minimally formed natural track (Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service).

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.

  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.

Getting to the start The trailhead coordinate, not the feature

The start is at -28.29989, 152.52808

That is minimally formed natural track (Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service), where the walk below begins — 2.2 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.

-28.29989, 152.52808

The record does not say what reaches the start The roads layer leaves trafficability unstated on most of its rows, and it is unstated here. That is an absence of evidence, not an ordinary road: treat the last stretch as unresearched.

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.

The chain, leg by leg Computed from cadastral geometry; never walked

Legs of the computed corridor, in order, with the grade of the record that made each one lawful
# Runs along Parcel / reference Mapped along it Distance Bearing Evidence
1 Protected estate npws-528 nothing mapped 1298.3 m 152.2° SSE Statutory inference — evidence class
2 Protected estate 3AP19334 nothing mapped 859.2 m 299.9° WNW Official spatial — evidence class
Total no way mapped 2157.5 m Chain confidence Statutory inference — evidence class

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.

Following it on the ground No published way to follow

at least 2¼ hours out and back

at least 1½ hours there at least three quarters of an hour back

565 m up and 245 m down on the way out — so the return leg climbs 245 m.

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

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.

The line on the ground

Map

Route map: 2 legs from minimally formed natural track (Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service), 2157.5 m in total.

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.

What this page will never do

  • No user pins

    Every fact here traces to a government layer or a statute, and each one says which: gazetted, official spatial, or statutory inference. Community records are quarantined 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

    An access verdict is about tenure, not difficulty or safety. Unmanaged terrain, cliffs and flash flooding are not in the cadastre. The engine reads land records, not the weather.

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