The line it runs

It passes through New Brighton, every suburb the line crosses, not just the one its middle sits in.

Runs from Withells Island Reserve to a spot the record does not name, the named ground at each end of the drawn line.

The lines it meets

Other open lines whose drawn course comes within 40 m of this one, the layer splits one trail into many features, so a line it touches is often the same walk’s next leg.

The green it crosses

Parks and reserves whose drawn outline the line enters, measured against the line itself, not a buffer around it.

What carries it

Council-registered structures the drawn line enters or runs within a few metres of, the bridges, boardwalks and steps the route is made of. The register’s names are site labels, so each is "at" the ground it stands in.
