[talk-au] Small culverts/bridges in bushland

2018-05-22 Thread Jonathon Rossi
Hi, Lately a mapper has been adding heaps of fords in SE QLD bushland along with more creeks/streams, however I've noticed quite a lot of the fords aren't actually fords based on my local knowledge of the area. I tried commenting on a changeset (https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/58540304) 2
