I've just been replacing big hunks of Murrumbidgee River with the imported 
boundaries
In the first place most of the Murrumbidgee was imported by vmap, which didn't 
do a great job with regard to the twists and turns of the river. Some has 
been handdrawn, and some of that was no better, depending on how tired I was 
at the time.

So where the ABS boundaries show a great improvement (eg the river goes under 
the bridges and lines up with landsat images, I've now used those for the 
Bidgee along a section - mostly Narrandera to Darlington Point.

I need to know if this doesn't work when it gets to the renderer, and if so 
what we could do about it.
