My high school maths is gone many years ago

Laser range finder wouldn't go astray either :)

As well as the ways (power=line), shouldn't we be tagging the individual
nodes (pylons) also (power=tower), as is done here:

Yes - If they're red and just that exact distance from the road then I quess
it should be a postbox.
I can't work out the telephone boxes in Queanbeyan from the imagery. so I'm
still surveying them.
some/lots of the telephone box's in Sydney are very distinctive ;-)

that there is a large metal tower, however rendered tiles only show the
power=tower nodes, not the power=pylon nodes.
Yes, I see them rendering now. I'd picked an unfortunately small sample
earlier.

That looks great!. It's a shame that the Nearmap imagery does not extent to
Bungendore yet.
I have no idea how to map the wind turbines. Do I need radar or survey tools
or can it be done by photographs, or
do I just nee to ask

So they cut off two coastal lakes from the sea with the barrages.
Actually, I agree, If, historically Lake Alexexandrina was periodically
flooded by sea water then shouldn;t that situation be reverted to.

There is always a down side to most renewables. Solar/wind
For base load there is very few options that will provide

Yes indeed... all arguments over drinking water supply,etc always come
back to energy supply.
