[Tagging] Mapping of mountain ranges (Was: The showstoppers for mapping Scandinavian nature.)

[Graeme Fitzpatrick]

But mapping mountains & valleys should be doable.

Here's a look at some of our Hinterland:

>From the west, you have Lamington Plateau dropping (sometimes with sheer
cliffs) into Numinbah Valley, which then climbs up to Springbrook Plateau,
which also has a number of sheer cliffs edging it - along the southern
side, these cliffs form the border between Queensland & New South Wales. To
the east / south east, it then drops into Tallebudgera & Currumbin Valleys,
which are separated by another ridge.

It would be quite easy to map them all by drawing a line along the cliff
edges where visible, & where there's no sharp divide, draw a line "half"
way between the grass of the valley floor & (in this example) the thick
bush on the mountain tops.

Exact? Maybe not?

Good enough to say this area is this, while that area is that? Yep!

Easily correctable as further data, or local knowledge, becomes available.
Yes, again!

Thanks

Graeme
