The Sugar Loaf

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

Gazetted name -27.26944, 152.23389 Deongwar State Forest · State Forest peak

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

Public land — inside Deongwar State Forest. 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 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 The Sugar Loaf. 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 Deongwar State Forest, designated State Forest. Official spatial — evidence class

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

The rock at the surface is metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rock, mapped as Sugarloaf Metamorphics (DCo) , late devonian - early carboniferous in age. The survey describes it as: Slate, spotted hornfelsed slate, phyllite, quartzite, schist, amphibolite 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

Map of The Sugar Loaf and the starts of the 5 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

The nearest published way passes 85 m from the recorded point. There is 45 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 5 published of 13 computed

13 ways in were computed and 5 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.
