Australia (WA) - Armchairmappers needed

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.

Beachd le liftarn 17 Am Màrt 2011 aig 09:24

Dundas and Austin looks mapped.

Beachd le liftarn 17 Am Màrt 2011 aig 09:28

Did Lake Wells.

Beachd le kerosin 17 Am Màrt 2011 aig 09:39

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

first rough outline of Percival Lakes

Beachd le alexis78 17 Am Màrt 2011 aig 13:43

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.

Beachd le Hokuspokus 18 Am Màrt 2011 aig 13:08

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

Beachd le liftarn 18 Am Màrt 2011 aig 13:26

Dumbleyung looks done.

Beachd le liftarn 18 Am Màrt 2011 aig 13:32

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

Beachd le alexis78 18 Am Màrt 2011 aig 14:44

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.

Beachd le liftarn 18 Am Màrt 2011 aig 15:55

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

Beachd le liftarn 18 Am Màrt 2011 aig 15:57

Lake Seabrook done (I think).

Beachd le liftarn 18 Am Màrt 2011 aig 16:01

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

Beachd le Ohr 18 Am Màrt 2011 aig 20:02

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.

Beachd le liftarn 21 Am Màrt 2011 aig 09:02

Lake Gregory done.

Beachd le Ohr 25 Am Màrt 2011 aig 20:23

Added Lake Magenta

Beachd le Ohr 25 Am Màrt 2011 aig 20:37

Also just traced Lake Noondie

Beachd le Ohr 26 Am Màrt 2011 aig 16:40

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.

Beachd le Ohr 26 Am Màrt 2011 aig 21:42

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.
