Try Australian Standard AS 2156.1-2001 (Walking tracks - Classification and signage) http://infostore.saiglobal.com/store2/Details.aspx?ProductID=260163 (not free, but try e.g. the following page for some details: http://hikingbackpacking.suite101.com/article.cfm/australian_bushwalking_track_classifications) P.S. In Queensland, the EPA (www.epa.qld.gov.au) website used to tell you which walking tracks fell into which "class", but it seems this site has recently been re-developed into http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/, which seems to have lost some of this info... _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
