Gigher Creek

Lawful route land the public may cross — no track, you navigate it

Gazetted name -26.67632, 152.51935 Conondale National Park · National Park watercourse

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

Public land — inside Conondale 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 verdict and its own caveats.

What this place is A definition, then the record

A watercourse — the channel a creek or river runs in, named at one coordinate along a length that may run for kilometres. Whether there is water in it is not recorded, and neither is whether its bed may be walked — that is a question about the land the channel crosses, answered on this site by the tenure chain rather than by the name.

Gigher Creek sits on Gigher Creek. The surveyed centreline of that watercourse runs 1.0 m from the recorded point, which is the whole evidence for saying it is this one. Official spatial — evidence class

The point falls inside Conondale National Park, designated National Park. Official spatial — evidence class

The point falls outside every World Heritage property the state maps.

The rock at the surface is pelite, mapped as Jimna Phyllite (DCj) , late devonian - early carboniferous in age. The survey describes it as: Brown to grey, polydeformed slate and phyllite with scattered metachert layers Official spatial — evidence class

Where it is

Map

Map of Gigher Creek and the starts of the 11 published approaches to it, over the parcels, corridors, estate and tracks around them.

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 stops short of this place Official spatial — evidence class

Stanton Road passes 171 m from the recorded point. The contour layer does not cover this ground, so the height between the two is unmeasured — and an unmeasured gap is never read as no gap.

The way passes further off than anything the record can call a way to this place — or, where being above or below a feature is no answer at all, it is on the wrong level of it. Two measurements are used rather than one precisely so neither distance nor height can settle this on its own. Nothing here says how to close the remaining gap: no authority has surveyed a way across it, and a bearing off the end of a track is exactly the guess this site refuses to make.

Approaches — one page each 11 published of 21 computed

21 ways in were computed and 11 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.
