[talk-au] suburb boundaries

[Luke Woolley]

I am stoked that the import will soon commence, but I have one query.  
I can't remember if this has already been asked but do the boundaries  
of a suburb render the name of the suburb, like the place=suburb tag  
currently does for tagged nodes or will it just show those fancy  
purple lines on the map. Thanks.
