The line it runs

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

Runs from a spot the record does not name to Somerfield Hall, 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.
