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

Public land — inside Mapleton National Park. 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 range — a line of high ground, named as one thing across what may be tens of kilometres. The register gives it a single coordinate all the same, so a way that reaches a range has reached somewhere along it and not a summit — no register records where the top of a range is, because a range does not have one.

No watercourse the register names runs within range of Blackall Range. 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 Mapleton 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 felsic volcanic rock, mapped as Wappa Rhyolite (Rmw) , late triassic in age. The survey describes it as: Rhyolite 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 Blackall Range 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.

The way reaches this place Official spatial — evidence class

Palm Break passes 11 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.

Both gaps are small enough that the way is a way to this place, not merely one near it.

Approaches — one page each 13 published of 48 computed

48 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.
