Bellbird Creek

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

Gazetted name -26.85170, 152.96850 Glass House Mountains Conservation Park · Conservation Park watercourse

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

Public land — inside Glass House Mountains Conservation 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.

Bellbird Creek sits on Bluegum Creek. The surveyed centreline of that watercourse runs 2.4 m from the recorded point, which is the whole evidence for saying it is this one. Official spatial — evidence class

The point falls inside Glass House Mountains Conservation Park, designated Conservation Park. Official spatial — evidence class

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

The rock at the surface is sandstone, mapped as Landsborough Sandstone (RJl) , late triassic - early jurassic in age. The survey describes it as: Lithofeldspathic labile and quartzose sandstone, siltstone, shale, minor coal, ferruginous oolite marker Official spatial — evidence class

The remnant vegetation mapping records no ecosystem over this point. That covers remnant vegetation only, so it is what the register says about ground that has been cleared, or is water, sand or rock — not a statement that nothing grows here.

Where it is

Map

Map of Bellbird Creek and the starts of the 14 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 168 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 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 14 published of 119 computed

119 ways in were computed and 14 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.
