[talk-au] How to Tag Brown Coal Open Cut Mines ?

[Michael Lenser]

Thanks for your answer Liz,
Are you proposing some new tags to cover mines or are these poorly  
documented ones? All I was able to find in the "Map Features" page was  
Landuse=quarry (Surface mineral extraction) which is how I've tagged  
them although as you would know its not an accurate description.

Regards
Mike
