Here we are

Re-awakening my interest in OSM. On the surface it seems like so much has already been done, but digging deeper there is always more to do. As a train driver I have a lot of knowledge about the CityRail system so that might seem a logical start - then again, do I want to dwell on work during my leisure time?

Haven't been in Sydney for around a year, but if the additional line has finally been built on the MacArthur line (not sure if it's finished yet or not), then you could change the line from proposed to actually being there.

Also there was some construction going on @ Leumeah and MacArthur last year that could be updated (probably on the other stations along that line too).

If you're particularly bored you could investigate adding more tags / details to train stations, such as available facilities (public toilets, phone, disabled access, tactile pavements, waste baskets, etc)

I'd also appreciate if someone from Sydney who'd be up for mapping the Mount Annan Botanic Garden - as I didn't get around to doing it last year. That and it's now free to access.

Personally I'm also re-discovering OSM. Adding in seats in parks, emergency markers, and roads that other OSMers haven't found yet.

Send me a message if you like, I'm a little bored and may head up to Sydney in about a months time, and I'll need something to map while I'm up there too.
