Thanks again, I've re-instated the original name using the official_name tag, as suggested. Cheers.

Hiya, well that does floor me! Can I ask where you found that info? I walked to the northern end of it yesterday and all the sign posts at Hotham only refer to the trail name. The entire trail is definitely longer than this section and could also be placed in a relation, but unless there is a signpost called Poo Farm road at the southern end (which I doubt given the uniformity of trail signposting by the alpine resorts, and all the signs that emphasise the indigenous heritage name) perhaps Poo Farm would be better placed as an alt name?

Hello Leon, I noticed that this edit changed the town name from “Mortlake” to “Mortlake Post Office”. I haven’t edited POs before but I wonder if the PO and locality tags should be entered separately? Many thanks for all your work on OSM. Cheers TreeTracks.

Hiya, thanks for your super quick reply. That's great. Thanks for your work there. BTW, I've just changed added access=private tags to a group of tracks that you added nearby on farmland at Balliang East. Could you consider adding this tag if you need to add tracks or roads on private property, especially if they provide through routes from one public road to another? This reduces the chance that routers will direct traffic across private land. Its not a big deal for most vehicle traffic but it helps a lot on cycling and off-road apps where users can create routes that avoid paved roads and prioritise unpaved roads and tracks. Thanks again for your help and all your work on OSM. Best wishes.

Hi NathanielIR, good to meet you. Could you give me some feedback on this edit please. Bing, Esri and Maxar imagery all show no roundabout at this intersection. Neither does Mapillary imagery collected in May 2020. Do you have any objections if I change this back to a standard intersection as shown on all the imagery? Thanks very much for your help. Cheers.

Hi David, lovely mapping around Armidale! I've added the amenity=toilets tag to a suite of buildings that you tagged as building=toilets in Armidale (and one in Dunedoo) as, without the amenity=toilets tag they do not display the toilets icon in OpenStreetMap. All other toilets in NSW have the amenity tag too. However, I haven't added one to this toilet at Harris Park as I wasn't sure if you meant to indicate that the toilet was now disused. It has the tags: building=toilets and disused:amenity=toilets. If it's still open it would be good to remove the disused:amenity tag. Thanks for your fantastic mapping, it's a pleasure to see Armidale in such detail in OSM.

Hi Bob, I just used the available Bing/Maxar images for this stretch which from memory was all asphalt. I’m pretty sure I didn’t look at the stretch further south which was already tagged as unpaved (apart from the immediate southern end of the ways I tagged), I just filled the gaps near Mt Isa that had no surface tags. Any new Mapillary images you have will be wonderful to work from. Cheers Ian

Hi again, sorry, my mistake, I misread the tags. I see you changed landuse:meadow to natural:wood, not meadow:pasture to natural:wood, as I said earlier. However, my broader comment stands. Landuse:pasture seems the most appropriate tag to tag the administrative boundaries of the TSR and natural:wood is the best way to tag tree cover, which is a different thing. I shall add both features as separate areas to describe both features.

105559229 about 4 years ago

Hi again, a comment rather than question. Each mapped feature can only represent one thing on the ground, so an area cannot be tagged as both natural:wood and landuse:meadow, as you've changed it here. It has to be one or the other. TSRs are a problem to tag. The formal boundaries of the landuse can be best tagged with natural:meadow. The tree cover, which is a natural feature, not a landuse, and which may not follow the administrative boundaries perfectly, would be best mapped separately. I'll have a go at adding both layers on this TSR now. I'm happy to remove meadow:pasture, as you suggest.

Hi again, I'm curious why you moved the southern boundary of the swamp? All imagery shows the swamp continues south of the fenceline where you have placed it.

Hi Jackers, I noticed you deleted a track I placed here a fortnight ago. I have replaced it as the track is clearly visible on satellite imagery, and is definitely present on the ground. I rode passed it again this weekend.

Thanks very much for keeping tabs on new changesets and for letting me know of the edit and your fix. Cheers.

Hi Bob, yes, I discovered that rendering problem last night too. I’ll change the entry to building=yes, amenity=toilet today, as that does display properly. The toilets were small and basic but worked fine. Best wishes Ian

Done. I added the report as a source material for the extent of the choke for verification purposes too.

99887993 over 4 years ago

Hiya I can do it on Sun / Mon. I’ll move it to Bullatale to Barmah as TheSwavu suggested. A relation is better than a point as it does refer to a stretch of the river. The Cadell Fault runs N-S along the W edge of the Millewa forest. If you visit Mathoura you can walk/drive down the old fault line to the forest below. If you’re in the area, it’s worth driving along Green Gully west of Mathoura which is where the Murray used to run before the fault occurred. It’s not that impressive but is quite interesting.

Thanks for that report Swavu. It’s surprising how poorly the MDBA has defined the ‘choke’ given the amount of attention it gets for water management. If the choke is defined from Bullatale to Barmah township, as in that report, it basically covers the length of the Murray within the Barmah-Millewa forest, which make sense. This is actually much closer to cleary’s first version of the choke relation, but curtailed a bit earlier at Barmah. Cheers Ian

Michael, I noticed this change set by chance. I don’t believe that the choke has ever been seen as extending beyond the township of Barmah. As best as I know, it has always been viewed as a feature within the Barmah / Millewa forests but not beyond. The narrowest interpretation would be the N-S tending reach to the north of the mouth of Moira and Barmah lakes, where the channel is extremely narrow, and ending in the south where the lakes join the river channel. This stretch is easily seen on satellite images and is commonly called “The Narrows”. However a broader interpretation from Picnic Point to Barmah township would be fine. Having said this, after an evening perusing Murray River reports, I was surprised at how few maps specify the actual extent of the choke, as you accurately stated in a note. However, it is always seen as a feature of Barmah / Millewa and I have never seen it applied to the river beyond. Best wishes Ian

Now they're all gone, as far as I can see. Thanks for the Overpass query, that helped enormously. Cheers.

85368430 about 5 years ago

Thank you for the alert. The tags came with tracks imported using MapWithAI. I have now edited them all and removed all of the unknown tags (I hope).
