I'd love to see good coverage for country towns.  For the moment I've
been just placing place=town nodes for a few towns, just so that they
exist on the map, which is far better than nothing

(I've also been playing around with mapnik so show town names and
highways at a much lower zoom level - even Victoria doesn't approach the
population density of Britain!  I hope to have a slippy map of Australia
coming over the next few days, if I can find somewhere to host it.
James - reckon we'd be able to put it on UCC?)
