In this example the technical assessment of the components distance,
quality of path, quality of markings and experience required are all Grade
1 or 2. The gradient and steps are Grade 3. Therefore, as the Wineglass Bay
Lookout Walk has one or more Grade 3 components the Tasmanian Parks and
Wildlife Service have graded the walk at Grade 3.


Grade 1:

Distance

Distance to complete walk is 2.4km.

Quality of markings

Clearly sign posted.

Experience requires

No experience required.


Grade 2:

Quality of path

Formed track.


Grade 3:

Gradient

Short steep hills.

Time

Time needed to complete track (hours/days) 1.5hrs.

Steps

Many steps.
