So, I might spend an hour or two generating a few .osm files with imported data, so we can get an picture of what it looks like without doing an import.
https://github.com/CloCkWeRX/data.gov.au-qconnect-gtfs is a quick repo I added with all of the data extracted, and an initial.osm which shows every bus stop in QLD, roughly.
