Australia (WA) - Armchairmappers needed
Yuzen-it-id kerosin af 15 March 2011 s English Last updated on 27 March 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

Great idea!
I've had a crack at Lake Cowan.
Awennit n liftarn di 17 March 2011 ɣef 09:24
Dundas and Austin looks mapped.
Awennit n liftarn di 17 March 2011 ɣef 09:28
Did Lake Wells.
Awennit n kerosin di 17 March 2011 ɣef 09:39
HokusPokus did Dundas and Austin. Good job!
Still 4 left

first rough outline of Percival Lakes
Awennit n alexis78 di 17 March 2011 ɣef 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.
Awennit n Hokuspokus di 18 March 2011 ɣef 13:08
Lake Cowan has large areas coverd with I guess salt. I think these areas should be seperated.
Awennit n liftarn di 18 March 2011 ɣef 13:26
Dumbleyung looks done.
Awennit n liftarn di 18 March 2011 ɣef 13:32
Did a rough trace of Disappointment. Very difficult to tell what is land and what is water.
Awennit n alexis78 di 18 March 2011 ɣef 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.
Awennit n liftarn di 18 March 2011 ɣef 15:55
And a rough trance of Lake Mason. Is it really that small?
Awennit n liftarn di 18 March 2011 ɣef 15:57
Lake Seabrook done (I think).
Awennit n liftarn di 18 March 2011 ɣef 16:01
And Lake Marmion. I think the east side may need some improvement.
Awennit n Ohr di 18 March 2011 ɣef 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.

Regarding Lake Mason:

Good work guys!
Awennit n liftarn di 21 March 2011 ɣef 09:02
Lake Gregory done.
Awennit n Ohr di 25 March 2011 ɣef 20:23
Added Lake Magenta
Awennit n Ohr di 25 March 2011 ɣef 20:37
Also just traced Lake Noondie
Awennit n Ohr di 26 March 2011 ɣef 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.
Awennit n Ohr di 26 March 2011 ɣef 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.
