Yamahra Creek from Cleared Ridge Break

entry is a track 95 m of climb chain confidence Official spatial yamahra-creek--from-cleared-ridge-break

Access verdict · Lawful, nothing to flag · weakest evidence in the chain: official spatial record

A lawful approach from Cleared Ridge Break.

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.

Getting to the start The trailhead coordinate, not the feature

The start is at -28.25631, 152.67057

That is Cleared Ridge Break, where the walk below begins — 5.0 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.

-28.25631, 152.67057

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	Track	Cleared Ridge Break	nothing mapped	2226.9 m	324.3° NW	Official spatial — evidence class
2	Track	Yamahra Creek Break	nothing mapped	2821.8 m	173.8° S	Official spatial — evidence class
Total			no way mapped	5048.7 m	Chain confidence Official spatial — 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 Every step ends at something you can check

at least 2¾ hours out and back

at least 1¼ hours there at least 1½ hours back

95 m up and 320 m down on the way out — so the return leg climbs 320 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

The way passes this place Official spatial — evidence class

Cleared Ridge Break passes 69 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. The walk below runs along the surveyed way and ends on it. Leaving it to close the rest of the gap is not something any record here describes, and this page does not suggest it.

5049 m in total, along the way the managing authority publishes. Every step above ends at something the records let you check on the ground. Bearings are true, not magnetic: they match a phone compass with no conversion. In this part of Queensland a magnetic bezel reads about 11° east of them, so an analogue compass needs that taken off before you set it.

What each step ends at, and why Official spatial

junction: A junction with another published way. Unmissable on the ground, and the place a wrong turn happens.
watercourse: A named watercourse crossing, from the official watercourse layer.
estate: The boundary of a named protected estate — usually signed, but not always.
destination: The place itself, which is always where the last step ends.

A cadastral parcel boundary is never one of them. It is invisible on the ground, so a step that ended at one could never be checked — however convenient it looks in the data.

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.
