Somebody in my area has marked in some spots as

sport=canoe

whitewater=put_in_out

https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit#map=16/-28.1070/153.4494

& Tallebudgera Creek certainly *doesn't* count as white water! :-)

Unfortunately, these points only appear when looking at the map in edit
mode, they don't render in normal view :-(
