Wild Horse Mountain

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

Gazetted name -26.93056, 152.99833 Beerburrum East State Forest · State Forest mountain

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

Public land — inside Beerburrum East State Forest. 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 mountain — high ground rising clearly above what surrounds it, named by the register at a single coordinate somewhere on its high ground. Where the top of a mountain is, exactly, is not something a single coordinate settles, and whether the last of the climb can be walked is not something any register records.

No watercourse the register names runs within range of Wild Horse Mountain. 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 Beerburrum East 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 felsic volcanic rock, mapped as Ti-SEQ (Ti) , oligocene - miocene in age. The survey describes it as: Rhyolite 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 Wild Horse Mountain and the starts of the 9 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 passes this place Official spatial — evidence class

The nearest published way passes 37 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 comes close enough to be a way to this place without the record establishing that it ends at it. A register gives a feature one coordinate and a feature is not a point, so the two measurements above are the whole of the claim: how far off the way passes, and what height separates the two. Nothing here says the last of that gap can be crossed. Whether there is a lawful way to that way is a separate question, and the approaches below are where it is answered.

Approaches — one page each 9 published of 27 computed

27 ways in were computed and 9 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.
