G'Day Darren I was just working on some data in the Rockhampton and noticed some new POI. I just had to delete one. A camping area POI called "Woolwash Lagoon". The council has put up sign in the area saying you can't camp there any more.
Anyway QLD Dept of Main Roads has POI database you or someone else might be interested in adding. http://www.mainroads.qld.gov.au/web/MRWebHelp.nsf/index/4858B388B6EFF79F4A257352000C5B25?opendocument Going by the copyright and disclaimer notice it looks like they could be added.
