[Imports] [talk-au] Public Barbeques in the ACT

[Philip Barnes]

Playing devil's advocate here.

But how many objects are there?

By their very nature I image they are concentrated in certain areas, such as parks?

Would it be as easy to simply use the data as survey points, that way you would capture not only the barbecue object, but also associated picnic tables, bins and paths to route to them?
