Learning Outcomes and Application | This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to complete walks in any type of environment including bushland, arid, alpine or tropical areas and according to planned routes.The unit provides skills to walk on formed earthen tracks which generally have modified hardened or compacted surfaces. Some surfaces could be unstable with some natural obstacles such as roots, rocks and small logs. Steps and short steep slopes may be featured.Tracks have signage at the track head, with route markers at intersections and where the track becomes less distinct. Tracks are reliably marked on maps and, along with signage, walkers do not require any specialist navigation skills to complete the track. Tracks could be graded according to the Australian Walking Track Grading System and might include features of grades 2 to 3.This unit applies to any type of organisation that delivers outdoor recreation activities including commercial, not-for-profit and government organisations.It applies to leaders, guides or instructors who use these skills when leading participants during bushwalking activities. Leadership skills are provided in complementary units.No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication. | ||
