Walk Grades on Kuno

Kuno uses the Australian Walking Track Grading System as a guide for the grading of walks in this platform. However, this national standardised grading system provides only general guidance and should be read in conjunction with the more detailed track notes, awareness of changing and variable local conditions, good preparation, and a sensible approach to the fitness level, experience and capabilities of your walking group.

A summary of the Australian Walking Track Grading System grades are as follows:

Grade 1: No bushwalking experience required. Flat even surface with no steps or steep sections. Suitable for wheelchair users who have someone to assist them.

Grade 2: Suitable for most ages. The track has a hardened or compacted surface that may have a gentle hill section or sections, and occasional steps.

Grade 3: Some bushwalking experience recommended. Tracks may have short steep hill sections, a rough surface and many steps.

Grade 4: Bushwalking experience recommended, as navigation and technical skills are required. Tracks may be long, rough and very steep. Directional signage may be limited. Rock scrambling or river crossings may be required.

Grade 5: Only suitable for very experienced bushwalkers with specialised skills, including map and compass navigation and emergency first aid. Tracks are likely to be very rough, very steep and unmarked. Rock scrambling and river crossings may be required.

Plight of the shorebirds

The hooded plover and pied oystercatcher can only live, breed and feed successfully on the beach, writes Dr Eric Woehler (OAM). And that, he says, makes them extremely vulnerable as human activities increase and destroy their habitat. They must be looked after, including here in Tasmania.
