York Creek

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

Gazetted name -26.52649, 152.92582 watercourse

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

Public land. 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 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.

York Creek sits on York Creek. The surveyed centreline of that watercourse runs 1.0 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 Carol Creek Rhyolite (Rmc) , late triassic in age. The survey describes it as: Rhyolitic tuff Official spatial — evidence class

The register maps 2 ecosystems over this ground, each with the share of it the register states.

90% — Eucalyptus grandis tall open forest on alluvial plains 12.3.2 · Of concern Official spatial — evidence class
10% — Gallery rainforest (notophyll vine forest) on alluvial plains 12.3.1a , described as 12.3.1 · Endangered Official spatial — evidence class

Where it is

Map

Map of York Creek and the starts of the 12 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.

Is there a track to it Measured in plan and in section

The way passes this place Official spatial — evidence class

Vodka Break passes 31 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 12 published of 30 computed

30 ways in were computed and 12 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.
