OpenStreetMap
I finally got around to doing more mapping today and surveyed Chilcotts Grass. Somebody had already given a few streets a trace but hadn't drawn anything in.
There's not really anything more to say... As usual Goonellabah is "2-3 rides away" from completion. It may be finished this week or it may not. It depends on how much progress gets made on a big assignment I've got.
I've been in contact with the webmaster from the Newcastle Cycleways Movement and have asked if their "existing cycleways" data can be incorporated into OSM. Just waiting for a reply on that one :).

Good idea about asking for the cycleways data. I've been in contact with Logan City Council up in Brisbane. Waiting to hear back from their marketing department. Main issue seems to be licensing.

Yeah, a lot of people aren't comfortable giving away data which they paid a lot of money for. I'm hoping that being in contact with the Newcastle Cycleways Movement people will spawn a bit of interest in OSM too, if nothing else their webmaster now knows about it :p.
