I too have added some areas/boundaries...
State Forests;
Enfield
Nowendoc
Terrible Billy
Doyles River
Enfield
Giro
Brassey
National Parks;
Curracabundi
Myall Lakes - modified boundary to match, and remover layer=-5.
Bretti
Mummel Gulf
Woko
Cottan Bimbang
Nature Reserves;
Black River
Ngulin
State Conservation areas;
and so on.
My 'mousing' skill/resolution varies... it is better than what is there now.
But a mechanical import would be better...

I have added the remainder of the Goobang NP boundaries by hand and am well and
truly moused out for now.
In the longer term adding directly from the gov database is preferable and
likely allows updates to boundaries occasionally more easily later.
I see from your links that getting this type of info into OSM is not trivial.

I have been using the LPI NSW Administrative Boundaries NPWS Reserve to
enter the boundaries of each section of the Goobang National Park as I was
recently there and recorded a few gps tracks as well.
It seems to me that I am probably wasting my efforts just following around
the rest of the boundary and marking it out with mouse-clicks and the bottom
section of the park, which I am still to do, is a big effort.
Is someone likely to import the database data for each park on which the
layer is based…or should I continue with the mouse.
Once the boundary is done I will leave others to add other data from the
other layers from LPI who are more familiar with the area.
thanks
This is a tough one. On one hand there are immediate benefits of
getting these park boundaries into OSM, which in theory you can do now
in the way you describe. On the other hand actually importing the data
would be easier and better, but not likely to happen just yet.
I've made some progress in getting a mapping for CAPAD data (which
groups together protected bounderies from all states) to OSM at
https://github.com/andrewharvey/capad2osm (sample data at
http://tianjara.net/data/osm/imports/capad.osm.xz)
I haven't even started on the licensing issue.
Although not a solution, for other projects based on OSM, I've
actually done post-processing to remove all OSM parks and replace them
with the CAPAD government data.
The data specifically for NSW is potentially available but can't find
any specific data download URLs for it:
https://sdi.nsw.gov.au/sdi.nsw.gov.au/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7B282174F3-6686-4841-8682-840D952DA5B0%7D
https://sdi.nsw.gov.au/sdi.nsw.gov.au/catalog/search/resource/details.page?uuid=%7BF744AA2D-793B-4CF3-BEDE-41A96D9975FA%7D
From what I see on the LPI pages .. they want to sell you the data ... you can
view it on the web.. but I have not been able to save it effectively.
But I am still lookin.
