Why GPS Distances May Vary

Distances listed on Trail Hiking Australia are based on mapped routes, GPX data, and field verification. Variations of up to 5–10% are common due to differences in GPS accuracy, tracking methods, terrain, and route choices—even when recorded on the same hike using different devices. Please factor this into your planning.
