Stags Head from minimally formed natural track (Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service)

Getting to the start The trailhead coordinate, not the feature

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

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

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.

How much climbing Read off the published contour layer

Total climb

450.0 m

Total descent

385.0 m

Steepest sustained

111.9% over 53.6 m

Contour interval

5.0 m

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.

What this verdict rests on Grades compose to the weakest link

• The destination sits on Mount Barney National Park Official spatial — evidence class

  Parcel 3AP19334, recorded tenure "National Park". Being at the destination and reaching it are separate questions, and this page answers only the second.

  Cadastre and protected-area estate layers Attribution licensed; see the footer

• Leg 1: npws-528 carries a right of passage Statutory inference — evidence class

  1298.3 m at 152.2°. Read from the mapped parcel geometry in the official layer, with no inference beyond what the record states.

  Leg reference npws-528 Grade C

• Leg 2: 3AP19334 carries a right of passage Official spatial — evidence class

  565.0 m at 60.4°. Read from the mapped parcel geometry in the official layer, with no inference beyond what the record states.

  Leg reference 3AP19334 Grade B

• Leg 3: 1271339 carries a right of passage Statutory inference — evidence class

  15.5 m at 14.5°. The bed is State land by statutory inference from the Water Act 2000 (Qld) s.21 — law applied to a mapped parcel, not a finding by any authority.

  Leg reference 1271339 Grade C

• Leg 4: 3AP19334 carries a right of passage Official spatial — evidence class

  535.1 m at 358.6°. Read from the mapped parcel geometry in the official layer, with no inference beyond what the record states.

  Leg reference 3AP19334 Grade B

• The chain is only as strong as its weakest link Statutory inference — evidence class

  Confidence is not an average. It is the weakest class in the chain above, which is why a single inferred leg holds the whole route at statutory inference.

  Composition rule: weakest grade wins Applied at build time

If something goes wrong

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.
