[talk-au] Nambour Mapping Party

2009-08-18 Thread Liz
There has been great work here related in Ash Kyd's diary. I've had a quiet whisper that someone in Sydney wishes a mapping party be organised - well you've got a lot to aim for now! I live about 600km from Sydney so am not available to organise a mapping party in Sydney. But next time I have

I couldn't find the email Liz wrote about it, but I've just created a ref relation for the Gwydir Highway, as a result I can't see a good reason for 2 relations in this case. In the case of the A1 in QLD that's a diff matter as the A1 is more than just one highway. Can anyone think of a good

D roads certainly do exist, however at times the signs are covered over/folded up etc. The one I know for certain is a Pacific Highway detour which heads West from Nabiac and goes up to Krambach: http://osm.org/go/uaQzXe_ After that I don't know where it goes. There's a D sign at this
