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

Public land — inside Beerwah State Forest. 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.

Bluegum Creek (North Branch) sits on Bluegum Creek (South Branch). The surveyed centreline of that watercourse runs 9.5 m from the recorded point, which is the whole evidence for saying it is this one. Official spatial — evidence class

The point falls inside Beerwah 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 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 one ecosystem over this ground, each with the share of it the register states.

Where it is

Map

Map of Bluegum Creek (North Branch) and the starts of the 18 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

The nearest published way passes 16 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 18 published of 141 computed

141 ways in were computed and 18 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.
