Actually there was no state place tag for Queensland, I've added one since, and
the tiles will update sooner or later.
I also moved the ACT tag, it was going over the top of Canberra, also Canberra

I updated the rendering to show all villages, towns and cities and now the map
is a lot more cluttered to the point of too much clutter, I think I'll make
villages render at a higher zoom, not sure about towns.

Up until recently, that is today, I was tagging regional centres as place=city,
however it might be worth while tagging this as place=regional_centre, or
tagging them correctly and adding regional_centre=yes
However I haven't figured out the zoom levels and how it relates to metres per
pixel

So if the State determined list of cities says it is a

I just tweaked things to show traffic lights at zoom levels 15-18, are there

Are amenity=bench and amenity=bbq being rendered? I don't think there are many
of these around but if they're rendered hopefully people will bother to tag
them.

Oh, and is it easy to increase the font size on the suburb (locality?) names? I
think they appear at z10 but they're *way* too small to read.
Rendering the town names at lower zoom levels looks really good by the way.

Hey,
amenity=bbq would be an useful one.
railway=platform would be a nice one as well. If you can come up with a
style (I'd suggest one that renders exactly the same way as
highway=footway;area=yes,) you can probably even submit it for inclusion
in the main OSM render. :)
If you're interested,

Australia seems to contain about an equal number of amenity=bbq and
amenity=barbeque, with a handful of amenity=barbecue thrown in. There

Any graphic suggestions?
David Dean, Hughbris, and I had a discussion on IRC recently, and
decided that amenity=bbq is the best. It's the easiest to spell, and
least ambiguous because both barbecue and barbeque are acceptable
spellings depending on locality.
Additionally, David proposed that the additional tag

I finally figured out what the zoom levels equate to in metres per pixel,
although it's probably 100ths or 1000ths of metres per pixel judging by z18.
z0 = 313774583-627549167
z1 = 156887291-313774583
z2 = 78443645-156887291
z3 = 39221822-78443645
z4 = 19610911-39221822
z5 = 9805455-19610911

The Australian Tagging Guidelines currently say that for bush walking
tracks: Tag these highway=footway. and for track sections along fire
trails, highway=track is appropriate.
Shouldn't these be highway=path; foot=yes, rather than
highway=footway? The wiki page of the former says It is also used

Calling a bush walking track a designated footpath doesn't sound
exactly right, nor does calling a bushwalker a pedestrian.
Thoughts?
We should focus on the properties of the track, rather than its use.
