Robinson Falls
No lawful route approaches were tested; none carried a right of passage
Access verdict · Unconfirmed · weakest evidence in the chain: official spatial record
No lawful approach to this place could be established from the public record.
Every entry point tested ends at land the public has no established right to cross. This page publishes the refusal and the reason, and no route line of any kind.
On-ground signage and temporary closures override this page. Always.
What this place is A definition, then the record
A waterfall — a step in a watercourse steep enough that the water falls clear of the bed rather than running down it. The step is usually a band of harder rock the creek has been unable to cut through as fast as the softer rock below, so the drop moves slowly upstream over time and leaves a gorge behind it.
Robinson Falls sits on Tuckers Creek. The surveyed centreline of that watercourse runs 23.0 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 felsic volcanic rock, mapped as
Perwillowen Rhyolite (Rmp) , late triassic in age. The survey
describes it as: Rhyolitic tuff
Official spatial — evidence class
The register maps one ecosystem over this ground, each with the share of it the register states.
- 100% — Eucalyptus grandis tall open forest on alluvial plains 12.3.2 · Of concern Official spatial — evidence class
No register consulted records how far the water falls, and nothing here estimates it. This place is published because a register says it is here, not because a rule found it.

Where it is
Map
Map of Robinson Falls and the starts of the 2 published approaches to it, over the parcels, corridors, estate and tracks around them.
What the colours mean
- Land — the council area the region is published under
- Water beyond the council boundary
- Freehold or leasehold — no public access
- National park / protected estate — public land
- Road reserve
- Watercourse
- Track recorded by the managing authority
- Contour, every 10 m of height — nothing is implied about the ground between two of them
- Tenure unresolved — treated as no access
- Where your device says you are, shown only if you press the locate button — read as a rough fix, not a position, and never sent anywhere
- A place with a published approach — the pin is a link to it
- A place with none — every one is listed under the map with its verdict in words
- Where a published approach starts — each one has a page of its own below
- The walk — the line the legs below describe, not a surveyed path
- The parcels it crosses — the evidence the walk is lawful
- Watercourse crossing — no structure, off in high flow
Names on the map come from the same official records as the rest of the page — road and track names from the cadastre and the access layer, watercourses and estates from their own layers. A feature the record does not name is left unlabelled rather than guessed at.
Sources, licences and dataset versions for everything this map draws.
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 2 published of 204 computed
204 ways in were computed and 2 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.

Before you go Published alerts as at the snapshot date
The authority that manages this area publishes its alerts as data, and it published none for here in the snapshot this page was built from. That is not the same as "open" — a snapshot is a moment, and conditions move faster than one.
On Country
Registered Aboriginal cultural heritage party: Kabi Kabi First Nation Traditional Owners Native Title Claim Group — this point falls inside the registered party boundary. Official spatial — evidence class
A cultural heritage party boundary and a native title claim are different legal things. This page never conflates them, and it publishes neither as a permission.
All land and waters in Queensland carry a duty of care under s.23 of the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (Qld) — including here. Cultural heritage site locations are restricted by law (ss.38–46), deliberately, for site protection. This site holds party boundaries only and will never republish site locations. Check the public register and, where in doubt, seek guidance from the Aboriginal party for the area.
Searching a register does not of itself satisfy the duty of care.
Rules here — derived from tenure no estate designation resolved
Conduct rules follow from tenure and the legislation that governs it. Nothing specific is inferred here, which means you should read the signs, not that no rules apply.
Statutes relied on: Nature Conservation Act 1992 (Qld) and its regulations for protected estate; Water Act 2000 (Qld) s.21 for watercourse beds; Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 (Qld) ss.23 and 38–46 for the duty of care and for why site locations are never republished here.
