Hi Russell, Thanks for pulling me up :)
I think RACQ's site may have routes that are not officially signposted, numbered tourist drives. They do, however, use the brown symbol on their maps. Since these tourist drives are signposted everywhere though it stands to reason that a national dataset of it should exist. It's a form of heritage, in a way. It's a nice example of non functional fixedness and I want OSM to reflect that our roads can be used for enjoyment, happiness and beauty as much as transport. I suppose the spirit of that means there are no official tourist drives, we can feel free to indicate our own scenic routes for others.

Sounds like a good approach, should it be on the above page so people can be suitably inspired ?

I've given it its own heading for added prominence, but feel free to do whatever you can to make it findable. Ian. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

DERM's physical roads dataset dated 28/9/2010 has a TOURNUM field, but this only seems to contain a few tourist drives: 1, 5, 8, 9, 10, 16, 22, 23, 42, 43, 99, LA and z (the last two I suspect are not named correctly). 2. RACQ's trip planner: http://www.racq.com.au/travel/drive_travel/trip_planner#directions:route/Kuranda/Mareeba/Tolga/Malanda-Atherton_Road_East_Barron_/Yungaburra/Malanda/Millaa_Millaa/PALMERSTON,_QUEENSLAND/Innisfail This has a button top left (right most button) to toggle tourist drives. I am not sure if these are official tourist drives (are there such things - does the government decide on them, and what level of government?), but it's a start. I'm just wondering if there's an automated method to extract these features from their web map. I sent RACQ an email asking for the data, who knows how that will go. Still looking for a definitive source of tourist drive dataset. Let me know if you find anything.
