<p>Thanks for the clarification Mike.</p>
<p>To add misery to the problem Queensland Globe has the road
stopping short of the homestead by some distance, even though
council is maintaining that section. Perhaps the road closure
request has been enacted badly?</p>
<p>There is access to the river from the other (west) side by a road
that exists in Globe, but still on that stations property. That
road is not on OSM nor does it physically exist.<br>
</p>
<p>Think I'll leave both the homestead and past it as private. As
the guidelines says, "erring on the safe side".<br>
</p>
<p>Cheers Bob<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">In
these cases its probably easier to consider the road
“private” past the closure point. In Queensland (not sure
about other states) a landowner can apply to have a disused
or rarely used public road corridor “closed”. They can then
use the land for farming purposes with caveats from the road
owner - you can’t build on or crop on the corridor but you
can use it for your own farm vehicles and grazing. Legally
the land is still property of the road owner (Qld Gov) but
the public right of access is removed so you cannot legally
traverse that section whether there are gates there or not
without raising the ire of the landowner and potentially
being subject to trespass laws. Similarly if you look at
the cadastre in Queensland Globe you should see either a
road casement and or a strata title to reflect this and on
that point all public roads in Queensland will have a road
corridor and your public right of access doesn’t extend past
that whether there is a fence or not.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">Hope
that helps – other OSM folk will be better help in terms of
tagging<o:p></o:p></span></p>
