AUSTRALIAN WALKING TRACK GRADING SYSTEM
(www.northeastvictoria.online)
The Australian Walking Track Grading System (AWTGS) is the primary means of informing people about the features of walking tracks, and therefore allowing walkers to gauge whether a particular track is suitable for their ability/needs etc.
The basic (simplified) framework of the Grades are as follows,
|
Grade 1 : Up to 5km; gentle gradients, well formed track without steps, clearly sign-posted, no experience required. |
|
|
|
Grade 2 : Up to 10km; gentle hills, formed track with occasional steps, clearly sign-posted, no experience required. |
|
|
Grade 3 : Up to 20km; short steep hills, formed track with many steps, sign-posted, some bushwalking experience required. |
|
|
Grade 4 : May be more than 20km; some long steep sections, rough track, limited sign-posting, intermediate bushwalking experience required. |
|
|
Grade 5 : May be more than 20km; many long steep sections, rough track, no sign-posting, extensive bushwalking experience required. |
