Cross Country Flight

What is the definition of Cross Country flight for purposes of logging in Australia. Is it a distance or time from point of departure?
Thanks in advance.

any flight in which one lands at an airport other than that which they took off from, though that's just a guess...

Im my part of the globe, Iceland, it is considered to be any flight further away from point of departure than 25Nm.

From CAR 1988 Part 1 interpretation:

cross-country flight time means flight time during which the pilot of an aircraft applies a particular method to determine the aircraft’s position and course by geometry, topography or radio navigation aids while the aircraft is flying along a route segment.

cross-country training means flight for the purpose of practising the navigation sequences set out in a syllabus.

From CAO 40.2.1 (Instrument Rating) para 2.1

cross-country means flight for the purpose of either visual or radio navigation. This may constitute either a single leg to a destination other than the point of departure or a number of sectors terminating at either the point of departure or another destination.

It's all in there man, you just gotta know where to find it...... Hope it helps.
