Australian Walking Track Grading System

You may have heard about the Australian Walking Track Grading System.  It filters tracks by the level of fitness, experience and equipment required for each walk and grades them from 1 to 5. A grade 1 walk includes easy, accessible walks suitable for everyone, while grade 5 tracks are reserved for experienced and well-prepared walkers only.  Caro from Lotsafreshair explains the AWT Grading System in more detail here.

Whilst it may be in-precise at times, its the closest we have here in Australia to a standard for all walks.

The team at Tasmania Parks and Wildlife have shared some helpful images on their Facebook page to match the descriptions for each of the walk grades.
