<div>Why I brought this up - had a look at the historic=monument
tag yesterday morning, which lead me to <a
href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CheckTheMonuments"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/CheckTheMonuments</a>
& <a
href="http://www.historic.place/themes/monuments/map.html"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.historic.place/themes/monuments/map.html</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That showed 4 monuments in my general area, 2 of which
should apparently be memorials, 1 I'm not sure about &
this one: <a
href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/-28.00759/153.38376"
moz-do-not-send="true">http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/-28.00759/153.38376</a>.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The "Regional Arboretum" is shown as a monument &, by
the conversations here, almost certainly shouldn't be (maybe
it should be a Memorial? - will have to get up there &
check it out on the ground); while the "ADF Grove" is, almost
certainly correctly, a Memorial.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now, if the Regional Arboretum isn't actually marked as
being a memorial to anybody / thing, & therefore not a
memorial, how should it then appear in OSM? The Botanic
Gardens as a whole are shown as landuse=recreation_ground;
leisure=park. From a Google satellite shot <a
href="https://www.google.com.au/maps/@-28.0070891,153.3834806,174m/data=%213m1%211e3?hl=en"

the Regional Arboretum is only an open group of trees, so how
should it be mapped?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It's definitely not intended for forestry / logging
purposes, so it's not landuse=forest</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>It's hardly a forest, so not natural=wood</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Doesn't produce anything so not landuse=orchard</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Leisure=garden? Garden brings to mind flowers & bushes,
not trees, but I guess it may still apply?</div>
<div><br>

Sydney Royal Botanic Garden is tagged as<br>
leisure=garden<br>
garden:type=botanical<br>
<br>
Possibly <br>
leisure=garden<br>
garden:type=arboretum?? <br>
I think this is the best solution I have - not documented and no
actual existence in the data base. <br>
<br>
Way 21370319 (Nottingham Arboretum) is tagged as<br>
name=Arboretum<br>
leisure=park<br>
this looks wrong to me .. the name may just be a description. <br>
<br>
The Australian Canberra arboretum is tagged as<br>
tourist=attraction <br>
<br>
<br>
A quick look has arboretums tagged as <br>
forest (!), conservation, grass (!), leisure=nature_reserve and
probably other things. <br>
<br>
Will be interesting to see where this goes.<br>
<br>
----------------------------<br>
I have mapped some 'local' memorials/monuments ... <br>
including one to a cat (Trim - Matthew Flinders cat), one to the WW1
Australian horses. <br>
