Started feeling pangs of guilt for not having done anything OSM for a while, so I pulled out some of my old track logs that I hadn't done anything with yet and had a go at the Caboolture area.

I somehow managed to lose a bunch of geotagged photos over the last month; but going on memory, the satellite imagery and the trails I recorded I managed to patch together a fair bit of the area. It's horribly incomplete because a lot of the street tracing hasn't been finished yet, but I've been picking away at it for some time, and after these changes have uploaded I think it'll start resembling something more like a map.

I had a go at Narangba too, tracing some nonames, and adding some details from memory. They will need to be adjusted when I can get some more accurate GPS data, but they should be reasonably close (and certainly better than nothing.)

In particular I focused on cleaining up the railway lines and adding overpasses, platforms & parking areas at stations. Again they're probably not entirely accurate, but the rails are more so than they were before thanks to a track I took weeks and weeks ago.

Now everything's uploading, and on my parents' awful 256k upstream, JOSM is estimating it'll take an hour to complete. I hope the new API fixes this, because it's one of the least fun things I can think of right now, and there's absolutely no reason it should be that slow.
