When comparing satellite imagery and various maps on Vic Maps, you can find
what seem to be road corridors that don't have roads in them. (I'm looking
on https://vic.digitaltwin.terria.io/ and

My view is also that Strava heatmaps are insufficient on their own to prove
a track. They do show that a reasonable number of people have passed along
a particular route in recent times. They don't prove a path or track, and
they give no indication of permissions.

There's a small chance that they're proposed roads, but most likely they're

However the names are suitable for the areas where they've been added, so

The existing southern end of this road which was known through
construction as 'Peninsula Link', and is mapped as such now, should
probably also be called 'Mornington Peninsula Freeway.'

The golf fence is 14-15 times higher than the white fence along the bottom

I'd say it does, except I think there was a desire not to universally tag
bicycle=yes/no on footway, given it's broadly redundant information. This
should be derived from tags applied at a State level.
But retaining bicycle=no if there was an explicit sign forbidding cycling.

I can't help with JOSM on mac, or with reverting specifically.
I would suggest caution with the reversion process though, there are plenty
of ways that have been edited multiple times by HighRouleur. Spotting these
and knowing how far back to revert to might be tricky I guess?

I think you're asking the same question as Andrew, but you possibly have
different viewpoints or opinions on it.
I see the map as a painting that's becoming more detailed and accurate as
time progresses. In the beginning the map was blank, and people added large
areas of landcover just to get
"Where something like the boundaries of a State Park and a forested area
are not the same."
I'd say that this is common and expected, and should be handled with
separate areas.
I feel it's very much the old style of mapping to put 'natural=wood' on a
park admin boundary.

Hi Kim,
highway = pedestrian is for pedestrianised roads/areas rather then
footpaths/sidewalks/pavements for those I think the current tag is
highway=footway.
bridleway isn't in use in Australia much for the path types we're
discussing here.
I'd prefer a normal footpath to be
highway=footway -

I can't see it in the suburbs of Melbourne yet. :(

The hill shading on some sand quarries near me is much more detailed and

AusPost will sell you a list of postcodes mapped to Localities, and with a
