I did earlier raise the question of how to deal with historical sites such as the ones you pointed out? "Ex-military bases, now often either historical precincts / tourist attractions / possibly ruins only eg Fort Lytton https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/-27.41058/153.15263, https://fortlytton.org.au/ & many more similar worldwide. They were, but are not now military areas, so how should we tag them? museum + tourist attraction + was:landuse=military + was:military=base, or ignore all reference to "military"?" We could also include "historic=fort" https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:historic%3Dfort but that also says "a military fort: a stand-alone defensive structure which differs from a castle in that there is no permanent residence. There may have been temporary housing for the crew", which I have some issues with? (& I can already hear Paul saying just because it's old doesn't necessarily make it historic! :-)) Thanks Graeme
