Warin - you reckon not map them?



If they are permanent then they should be mapped. Can be usefull 
navigational points on a map.





Sebastian - as Michael said, both temp & permanent but /much/ bigger 
than a sandbox!


Here's one that I spotted while mapping t'other day, that got me 
wondering about them.


https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?relation=6007743#map=19/-36.41030/148.59385 



I know that in remote areas, they're often used as impromptu camping 
grounds, being somewhere that you can pull up, usually out of view of 
the road, & stop for the night.



In remote areas anything can be used as a camp site ... those cuts off 
to the side for water to goto, a creek line... I would not map them for 
camping reasons.





Kevin - I've never heard of them referred to as gravel stacks, only 
ever pits? Maybe a State thing?


Or maybe just using the common term incorrectly - a pit is usually below 
ground, but it is the term 'we' usually use.


Gravel stack is certainly more descriptive of what can found.

However in remote areas they can and do use what is available locally - 
so these are pits - where stuff is dug out for local use.

Or is this similar to sand boxes they (used to) have next to
rail lines? (For traction in winter)

The term you're looking for is "gravel stack". A gravel pit is indeed a
quarry -- but that's something else.
