Northbrook

No way in found nothing was proposed as a way in, within the area searched

Gazetted name -27.32194, 152.72361 D'Aguilar National Park · National Park peak

Access verdict · Unconfirmed · weakest evidence in the chain: official spatial record

Nothing was tested — no starting point was found to test from.

No lawful starting point exists within 2.0 km of this place: no road the public may drive running down a corridor they may stand on, and no trailhead the managing authority publishes. Nothing was refused here, because there was nothing to refuse. The place is published so the gap in the record is visible rather than quietly dropped.

What this verdict means · what the evidence grades mean

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 Northbrook. 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 D'Aguilar 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 sandstone and mudstone, mapped as Neranleigh-Fernvale beds/a (DCf/a) , devonian - carboniferous in age. The survey describes it as: Oolitic labile arenite, argillite Official spatial — evidence class

The register maps one ecosystem over this ground, each with the share of it the register states.

Where it is

Map

Context map for Northbrook: parcels, corridors, estate and tracks around the point. No approach was published, so no start is marked.

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

Lawton Road passes 281 m from the recorded point. There is 150 m of climb or drop between the two, read at a 5.0 m contour interval. The contours give the height between them and never which way round it is, so this is a separation and not a descent to plan.

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 no starting point within 2.0 km

There was nothing to compute

Not one lawful starting point was found within 2.0 km, so no approach was solved and none was refused. The records place this feature beyond every road and trailhead they describe. Publishing that emptiness is the point: it is where the record stops, and it is not a licence to head in on a bearing.

Before you go Published alerts as at the snapshot date

The authority that manages this area publishes its alerts as data, and it published none for here in the snapshot this page was built from. That is not the same as "open" — a snapshot is a moment, and conditions move faster than one.

On Country

Registered Aboriginal cultural heritage party: Jinibara People — this point falls inside the registered party boundary. Official spatial — evidence class

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 statutory inference, 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.
