Was there some sort of consensus on how to tag these at all?
Even though I don't think they should be automatically guessed at, and
even though there is boundaries for most places in Australia, some
times the towns out grow the boundaries and it'd be useful to tag
these exceptions.

I thought is_in is depreciated and replaced by polygons?

You could calculate node density (nodes/km2) and assume that node density
will decay from the centre of a town to the edge. This would work for the
nodes in ways, since 'in town' will have more streets than 'out of town'.

The problem with admin boundaries, here in the Uk anyway is that they
have very little to do with the towns or places they actually are
around.
Admin_level tends to suggest a simple hierarchy that does not exists.
and tends from what I've seen here to be related to govenment admin
