[talk-au] sac_scale [Was: Deletion of walking tracks/paths]

[iansteer at iinet.net.au]

I think we should be considering the Australian Walking Track Grading
System.  It seems to have been defined by the Victorians (Forest Fire
Management -
https://www.ffm.vic.gov.au/recreational-activities/walking-and-camping/austr
alian-walking-track-grading-system).  The AWTGS defines 5 track grades.

 

It appears to have been adopted by National Parks here in WA, NT, SA, QLD
and NSW, and Bush Walking Australia.

 

I have tagged a few tracks (where there were officially signed with a
"Class") as "awtgs=" (however someone in Germany has since deleted those
tags without reference to me!)

 

Australian Standard AS 2156.1-2001 is titled "Walking Tracks, Part 1:
Classification and signage".  However, I don't have a subscription to read
the contents of this standard to see how it compares with the AWTGS.  Other
documentation I have seen refers to the AS scheme as having 6 levels
