Hi Sean,
Based on the copyright notice below, I wouldn't have thought we could use this
data. For example it forbids commercial use which you cannot do once it has
been loaded into OSM.

Subject: Re: [talk-au] Camping/rest stop POIs
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.

Going by the copyright and disclaimer notice it looks like they could be
added.
