Back Creek

Lawful route — caveats lawful, with something that needs saying first

Gazetted name -26.87698, 152.97308 watercourse

Access verdict · Lawful, with caveats · weakest evidence in the chain: statutory inference

Public land. 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.

Back Creek sits on Coochin Creek. The surveyed centreline of that watercourse runs 10.3 m from the recorded point, which is the whole evidence for saying it is this one. Official spatial — evidence class

The point falls outside every protected-area estate in the snapshot.

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

The rock at the surface is alluvium, mapped as Qa-QLD (Qa) , quaternary in age. The survey describes it as: Clay, silt, sand and gravel; flood-plain alluvium Official spatial — evidence class

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

70% — Eucalyptus grandis tall open forest on alluvial plains 12.3.2 · Of concern Official spatial — evidence class
30% — Eucalyptus pilularis tall open forest on sedimentary rocks 12.9-10.14a , described as 12.9-10.14 · Least concern Official spatial — evidence class

Where it is

Map

Map of Back Creek and the starts of the 13 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 No published way within range

No vetted way the managing authority publishes comes within range of this point. That is a fact about the access record, not about the ground: an unmapped pad may well exist, and this site will not invent one on the strength of that.

Approaches — one page each 13 published of 73 computed

73 ways in were computed and 13 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.
