Hi Mateusz

Sorry this is kind of lengthy.

I have in fact created a number of these. The issue of "no camping areas" came up in talk-au some time ago. The signs are visible on the Mapillary view and/or I saw it on person. (I live on the road)

Unlike it seems in other parts of the world the general view of Australians camping is "anywhere except expressly prohibited". This means that not only are there formal ones but there are many "on the ground" sites in all types of unusual places. One common type are road/creek/river crossings as the waterways are deemed as being "owned by government", even if they pass through a private cattle station. Small town community centres and showgrounds are also often word of mouth camping areas and some are prohibited. Many of these places do well from travellers financially, often by verbal agreement and a donation.

Given that population is getting more mobile I felt it necessary to have some way to list known exclusions that at the moment can be seen by current rendering. I don't have a solution, but needed some kind of place-holder until one can be found. You may note that the Operator is the sign authority and access is No in all cases.

It gets even more complicated by time/type limit as well. Roadside rest areas are also "known campsites" that generally allow 24 hours but only for vehicles. There are also waste management (black/grey water) type restrictions. It's all very messy and really needs a big talk-au discussions and non standard tagging.

Cheers,

Question. Is this section sealed? I note that it was marked as paved by MSOM some years ago but I recollect that funding had not been received and it was potholes! Maxar imagery seems unpaved.. Tnx

I might drive all the streets there Wed as I am going past, then check the lot. Eventually they'll be Mapillary images but big delay getting them uploaded. Cheers/thanks.

Gday. Glencoe Street is asphalt, not unpaved last time I looked. Has it been ripped up? If not are you okay me changing?

Just a headsup/info in case it affects a database of yours. The "Way has been simplified with a maximum error criterion of 3m" change has sometimes pushed streams away from associated bridges. I have changed the stream route in a few cases to match DCS topo and align to bridge.

Really needs a re-survey. It was/is a spectator/stand rather than a simple shelter, but I remember it was a real dangerous mess. I also see some upgrade/repair funding has been allocated for the showground generally. Have changed fixme's accordingly

Just an inquisitive question. Why the footpath way around the farm? I just drove past (street imagery) and was checking the road signage/surface. Cheers

Just checking with you here on the way 417908370. Was it meant to be a path? I drove past the "farm gate" at the eastern end yesterday and so changed to driveway. Thoughts please.

Gday. Just advising that I have done some extensive updates on "The Lake" campground and surrounds. Gimee a shout if you disagree on any of it.. Cheers.

Gday. Have been doing some street imagery edits and noticed the private access campsite on the Einasleigh River. Is it really private? I added in the obvious access road also making it private but would like some feedback, Tnx

Hi Ian. In my notes I have a surface chk to run on Duchess Rd all the way to Duchess. There has been some "recent" work that was washed away in a storm, but I never found out how far the seal went from Mt Isa. Do you have any later info?

aghaa i see it now. Bollon and bollard.. That was about the time i had a internet connection power failure. Have removed the bollard from the field in Spain

Hmm, no idea how that appeared in your qc checks. None of my mapping is outside au. Which way/node is outside au?

Aghha.. Building:toilets vs amenity:toilets. The former doesn't show up on the user map. Wonder if mkgmap sees them..

Was/Is the toilet in the park inop?

Yeah saw that but the edit wasn't mine. The original face:white was created/edited about 1 year ago by Ddoolittle86 · Changeset #79528114. There may have been a reason?

I'll admit I am mystified myself. Any editing of roadsigns that I do is giveway or stop but I dont recall having done them, nor to any relation. I'd expect though that faces is which way a sign is visible from. A roadsign is usually "backward" or "forward" though. There is a wiki key that describes usage..

Well its roughly square. The N, E and S sides are there, but not the W. I'll have a further play with the editor to see if I can figure it out. It is on my action list. I was there less than a week ago.

Hi, have just changed your osm.org/edit?node=301933917#map=21/-32.93259/137.39255 back to unpaved. I did not check the entire changeset. Thought I had better explain why as your change was relatively recent.

I drove past the end of Niangala Rd (on Nowendoc Rd) today and idly noted it appeared to still be "dirt". My later checks though found it was marked paved. The DCS imagery is May 2014 and the one we cant use is May 2017. My latest Mapillary imagery of the road is May 2019. I dont know how to get Bing imagery date, but it looks like a fine gravel with worn tyre tracks rather than an asphalt seal.

Feel free to use the (mostly my regional) Mapillary imagery and message me if you need more accurate date etc information.

I am not planning to drive Niangala Rd in the next few months so I cant verify for sure. Feel free then to reverse my change as you see fit.

Cheers

Having trouble with the ID editor when one area (inadvertently) snaps to another. i was unable to close the parking lot so would appreciate if you might fix? The Mapillary imagery will eventually be available. (2-3 mo) Too expensive to upload the 10-20GB per day (mobile) so I do changes on a local copy same day.
