G’day Matt

I tried getting the land owners name using the instructions in my comment below from 18 June 2024, but I failed because the title plan is an old “W” title which I think is from after the war.

I don’t have any landowner details but it’s worth noting:
1. Left Hand Branch Road at Kerry is a road reserve, so you have legal right of access until the end of the road, which I think terminates at the national park boundary.
2. If you want to be doubly sure, there is a farmstay at the start of the road, with a mobile phone number on their website. You might try contacting them. See https://www.stayatkirro.com.au/contact.html

I’m not sure if you are still active on this blog but if you are I would love your help!

Yesterday, (5/10/2025) whilst attempting the descent off Castle Crag, I very foolishly lost my hiking pack down the cliffs into the valley of Moran Creek. In an attempt to retrieve the pack, tomorrow we are planning on hiking up the river from the end of Left Hand Branch Road. I came across your blog in an attempt to find out the nature of the access to this section of creek.

If it is at all possible, I would love to get in contact with the owners of the property to seek approval to access the creek. If these are contact details you might still have, I would be extremely grateful to get these off you so I can appropriately contact them.

Obviously you cannot post them online on a public website but if it’s possible to contact you privately for these details please let me know!

Any help would be much appreciated!

Kind regards,

Matt

Thank you Neil,
That’s quite a process haha. Worth it though to get to those special places. We have been using Q-Globe more and more to try and pick out the orange local roads on our travels and stick with those…. You’ve given us more options to explore even further now though, so thank you again.

Hi Karl and Lauren
Thanks for your kind words.
I get landowner’s details by following these steps:
1. Sign up for a free account with Qld Government info broker Citec-Confirm (https://www.confirm.citec.com.au/)
2. Sign up for a free account with Qld Government cadastral database Q-Globe (https://qldglobe.information.qld.gov.au/)
3. Zoom into the property in question with Q-Globe. Display the “Planning Cadastre” layer and take a note of the title volume and folio number.
4. Search Citec using the volume and folio number to get the title reference.
5. Search Citec using the title reference to get the land owner name.
6. Seach Whitepages using the land owner name to get phone number.

This process doesn’t cost anything except your time.

If the land owner is a company, you need to do a company search with Citec, which does cost money (about $20)
