Rock overhangs (rock shelters) have been quite extensively mistagged in Australia as natural=cave_entrance. Are there any objections to re-tagging these overhangs tagged as natural=cave_entrance to amenity=shelter + shelter_type=rock_shelter? Of course they would only be re-tagged where we have

Hey I was just thinking about this myself the other day. "Petroglyph is image created by removing part of a rock surface by incising, picking, carving, or abrading, as a form of rock art." So when there is on engraving, only paint then petroglypth would be incorrect based on that definition.

[talk-au] Unmarked tracks (Figure of Eight Pools, NSW)

I'm seeking some feedback from the community about the way at https://osmlab.github.io/osm-deep-history/#/way/157934548 should it exist in OSM? https://www.flickr.com/photos/136319147@N08/22832546277/in/datetaken-public/ There isn't really any marked track on the ground, which is a big reason to

Re: [talk-au] Australian Marine Parks Import

Re: [talk-au] Pedestrian/bike access near Wiley Park

There are two main ways to tag footpaths (sidewalks) as you've pointed out, and documented at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Sidewalks#How_to_map. Both are valid and there's no consensus. These two approaches can co-existing and an area can be mapped with both if you like. Personally I map

Re: [talk-au] City of Gold Coast / repeat requests of CC BY waivers

Thanks Simon! I understand all agencies need to do their own due diligence in determining if they can agree to the waiver or not, but as you've seen at https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Data_Catalogue there are a number of other agencies in Australia who have agreed. On 14 August

Re: [talk-au] City of Gold Coast / repeat requests of CC BY waivers

There's a number of people here in Australia who are keen to use our governments data to improve OSM and I'm sure there's been a lot of double ups in requests. I'd encourage everyone who's identifying data sources and asking for permissions or waivers to contribute to

Re: [talk-au] Ferry Routes mapping in NSW

I think so long as there's an active ferry route running between two terminals then it should have a route=ferry[1] connecting them, roughly following the actual geometry the route normally takes. Where you have a ferry route that sometimes has a few variants, eg. sometimes skips a terminal, or
