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.

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.

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).
