Australia (WA) - Armchairmappers needed

Pleatst troch kerosin op 15 maart 2011 yn it English. Lêst bywurke op 27 maart 2011.

Hey Guys,

Just noticed there are a lot of big lakes in Australia that are not mapped although Bing imagery is available. So I'm asking Armchair-Mappers to help mapping them :)

If you're working on one of the lakes please leave a comment! Thanks

I will roll out a bigger list if there's enough help.

I'm sorry for mistakes, I'm not a native English speaker.

Cheers

/edit: added some more ;)

Great idea!

I've had a crack at Lake Cowan.

Reäksje fan liftarn op 17 maart 2011 om 09.24 oere

Dundas and Austin looks mapped.

Reäksje fan liftarn op 17 maart 2011 om 09.28 oere

Did Lake Wells.

Reäksje fan kerosin op 17 maart 2011 om 09.39 oere

HokusPokus did Dundas and Austin. Good job!
Still 4 left

first rough outline of Percival Lakes

Reäksje fan alexis78 op 17 maart 2011 om 13.43 oere

Percival : trying to draw a finer outline from Bing images. From high up, this seems to be a shallow lake and mostly sand banks, making it hard to tell where the land ends and the water starts... so the outline remains somewhat approximative.

Reäksje fan Hokuspokus op 18 maart 2011 om 13.08 oere

Lake Cowan has large areas coverd with I guess salt. I think these areas should be seperated.

Reäksje fan liftarn op 18 maart 2011 om 13.26 oere

Dumbleyung looks done.

Reäksje fan liftarn op 18 maart 2011 om 13.32 oere

Did a rough trace of Disappointment. Very difficult to tell what is land and what is water.

Reäksje fan alexis78 op 18 maart 2011 om 14.44 oere

I've gone as far as I can, given the sat image quality, my patience and my total lack of understanding of the area I'm tracing... So, regarding Percival Lakes : all major bodies of water I could see from bing, the major islands inside them are done. Not always / not everywhere with a high level of detail, but curvy enough to follow the land (?) and look natural(-ish).

This was, to me, an exercise in something different, and a kind of exotism by proxy (I'm nowhere near Australia, and won't be able to visit in the foreseeable future). I'll go back to my own area now. Everyone is welcome to pick up from where I left and enhance what I started.

Cheers, everyone !

Did Lake Tay.

Reäksje fan liftarn op 18 maart 2011 om 15.55 oere

And a rough trance of Lake Mason. Is it really that small?

Reäksje fan liftarn op 18 maart 2011 om 15.57 oere

Lake Seabrook done (I think).

Reäksje fan liftarn op 18 maart 2011 om 16.01 oere

And Lake Marmion. I think the east side may need some improvement.

Reäksje fan Ohr op 18 maart 2011 om 20.02 oere

Added Lake Barlee - now I know why it was still not done even though it was the first one. Probably didn't catch all islands.

There also seems to be a smaller lake just north which still waits for mapping.

Reäksje fan liftarn op 21 maart 2011 om 09.02 oere

Lake Gregory done.

Reäksje fan Ohr op 25 maart 2011 om 20.23 oere

Added Lake Magenta

Reäksje fan Ohr op 25 maart 2011 om 20.37 oere

Also just traced Lake Noondie

Reäksje fan Ohr op 26 maart 2011 om 16.40 oere

I've just added Lake Maurice. Also Lake Yindarlgoodo has already been mapped by someone. I've adjusted the tagging so it's now rendered as a lake.

Reäksje fan Ohr op 26 maart 2011 om 21.42 oere

Ok, finally also mapped Lake Carnegie, although the eastern part could be more detailed. But the shape is quite weird to draw.

Thanks alot! If you're still interested in armchairmapping in Australia check this out:
osm.wiki/Lakes_of_Western_Australia
There are also pretty small lakes mentioned. Lot's of them haven't been checked.
