[talk-au] 4WD track marking

[Brent Easton]

Hi Matt,

I would go with highway=track if they are 4WD only. Our Australian tagging page indicates track for 'Gravel fire trails, forest drives, 4WD trails and similiar roads.'

highway=unclassified implies a standard road that anyone could drive down.

Cheers,
Brent.
