Boggy Creek from Yandina Coolum Road

entry is a road chain confidence Statutory inference — evidence class boggy-creek--from-yandina-coolum-road

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

A lawful approach from Yandina Coolum Road, with caveats.

The chain below runs entirely across land the public has an established right to be on. It is a legal line, not a path: nothing here has been surveyed on the ground.

On-ground signage and temporary closures override this page. Always.

Getting to the start The trailhead coordinate, not the feature

The start is at -26.56548, 153.03056

That is Yandina Coolum Road, where the walk below begins — 4.4 km of it. Every link here goes to that coordinate and never to the feature itself, because a driving route to a waterfall is a driving route into the country above one.

-26.56548, 153.03056

An ordinary car reaches the start The roads layer marks the road reaching this point as trafficable by an ordinary vehicle.

The coordinate is where the recorded way begins, read off the same layers as the walk. What the record says about a vehicle is above, and it describes this point rather than the drive to it. Whether the road is sealed, gated, or open today, and where a car may lawfully be left, are none of them things these records say — so treat the last few kilometres as unresearched, and the mapping service's route to them as its own work, not ours.

Every leg above is computed from cadastral geometry. Nobody has walked it, and no part of it is a path on the ground: it is the line along which the public record establishes a right to be. Where a leg names a way, that is what a managing authority has mapped down the same ground — it says nothing more about your right to be there, which the parcel already settled.

Caveats — what has to be said before walking this

  • Corner-point junction. Two parcels in the chain meet at a single survey point. They are legally continuous public land, but the junction has no width on the ground.
  • Watercourse crossing. The chain crosses a watercourse bed. The bed is State land by statutory inference, there is no structure, and the crossing is off in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 1699448 and 1699410 is 34.48 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 1699410 and 1698156 is 898.15 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 1698156 and 1697890 is 295.42 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The narrowest gap between 1698232 and 1697928 is 409.02 m. There is no structure. Do not cross in high flow.
  • Measured crossing. The gap between the parcels either side of this crossing could not be measured from the geometry, which is a reason for more caution, not less.

Following it on the ground No published way to follow

at least 2 hours out and back

at least 1 hour there at least 1 hour back

Walking only — nothing is counted for rest, water, photographs, navigation, or the state of the track. The climb on this route could not be measured, so the figure is flat-ground time and the real walk is longer.

Naismith's rule, and what it does not account for

No directions are published for this approach. The chain above is a statement about permission, not a path, and turning a run of parcels into "walk north-east for 380 m" would tell you where to walk on evidence nobody holds — including where a way is mapped along it, because what was measured is the chain and not the way. Steps appear here only for a route that follows a surveyed way end to end.

How much climbing No contour cover along this line

No profile is published for this route. The contour layer does not cross its line often enough to describe a climb, and a profile drawn from anything else would be a guess about the ground.

Map

Route map: 10 legs from Yandina Coolum Road, 4446.0 m in total.

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 chain is only as strong as its weakest link Statutory inference — evidence class

    Confidence is not an average. It is the weakest class in the chain above, which is why a single inferred leg holds the whole route at statutory inference.
