Adams Creek

Track to nearby a published way, with steps to follow

Gazetted name Difficulty: Unclassified -26.61037, 152.64849 Imbil State Forest 1 · State Forest watercourse

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

Public land — inside Imbil State Forest 1. A published track reaches it.

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.

Adams Creek sits on Adam Creek. The surveyed centreline of that watercourse runs 6.2 m from the recorded point, which is the whole evidence for saying it is this one. Official spatial — evidence class

The point falls inside Imbil State Forest 1, designated State Forest. Official spatial — evidence class

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

The rock at the surface is sedimentary rock, mapped as Cambroon beds (Pb) , early permian in age. The survey describes it as: Argillite with subordinate locally calcareous greywacke, pebble conglomerate and pebbly sandstone, haematitic siltstone; minor basaltic to andesitic volcanics Official spatial — evidence class

The register maps 2 ecosystems over this ground, each with the share of it the register states.

  • 80% — Eucalyptus tereticornis +/- Eucalyptus siderophloia, Corymbia intermedia open forest on alluvial plains usually near coast 12.3.11 · Of concern Official spatial — evidence class
  • 20% — Gallery rainforest (notophyll vine forest) on alluvial plains 12.3.1a , described as 12.3.1 · Endangered Official spatial — evidence class

Where it is

Map

Map of Adams Creek and the starts of the 2 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 passes this place Official spatial — evidence class

The nearest published way passes 49 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. Whether there is a lawful way to that way is a separate question, and the approaches below are where it is answered.

Approaches — one page each 2 published of 8 computed

8 ways in were computed and 2 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.

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: Kabi Kabi First Nation Traditional Owners Native Title Claim Group — 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 State Forest · statutory inference

Conduct rules follow from tenure and the legislation that governs it. Nothing specific is inferred here, which means you should read the signs, not that no rules apply.

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.
