Track grade


Grade 2 (Easy) - A Gentle Introduction to Inclines: Grade 2 on the AWTGS represents easy walking tracks that offer a slightly more challenging experience compared to Grade 1. Similar to Grade 1, no prior bushwalking experience is required. The track surface is typically hardened or compacted and may have gentle hill sections or occasional steps. The total distance of a Grade 2 walk is typically no greater than 10 kilometers. These walks are still suitable for families with a bit more experience or those seeking a gentle introduction to some inclines.

    I did the Yellow Beach Foreshore Walk over the Labour Day long weekend in March, and it was a really enjoyable, relaxing stroll. At just 3.5km, it’s an easy walk that lets you soak in the stunning coastal scenery without too much effort. The trail takes you through a mix of coastal bushland, rocky sections, and sandy beach, all with beautiful views over Franklin Sound. It’s a great spot for a peaceful wander. The picnic area at Yellow Beach is a perfect place to take a break, especially if you want to sit back and enjoy the fresh island air. If you’re looking for a gentle, scenic walk on Flinders Island, this one is definitely worth doing.
