[Imports] [talk-au] Queensland, Australia: Protected areas (National Parks) - potential import dataset

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi,
If not done so already (the shp files are hard to find), perhaps
upload this data to koordinates.com then it is a nice central place
for this data to be found.


In Canada (for the equivelent dataset), i just guessed on the tagging,
and added it in.
Fortunatly, my edits will be removed at April 1st, so it's not a problem.


The 'community' might have a problem with including all those
datafield tags, since 'on the ground rules', and OpenStreetMap does
not intend on sharing corrections back to GA, so it's best to leave it
out.

... and also slice it into small bits, so then the 'community' can
manually add in the pieces locally.


cheers,
sam
