Hi Ian and belated welcome aboard. Your tagging logic looks great, better than most. Whilst most prefer natural features to not use place:locality, I believe that this is the perfect fit where the name is used colloquially for that area of land surrounding the river. Perhaps consider when it slightly confusing to use note: location approximate or, note: location not clearly defined (or similar) so the next mapper who may have more local knowledge knows that the node can be moved or improved.
All the best with the Murray river, a nice short water way to get start off with ;) Ewen On Mon, 13 Apr 2020 at 12:57, Little Maps <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi again everyone, hope you’re all enjoying Easter.
