[talk-au] Adelaide out of copyright street directory

[Cameron]

All,

The directory is now available at
http://www.osmaustralia.org/gregorysmaps.php Thanks to Matt White (Gaffa)
for the hosting!

It's a great resource for naming streets traced from Yahoo. When doing so,
please tag your work as source = Gregory's 1949 (or more commonly,
source:name = Gregory's 1949). This is of great help if someone else does a
survey and comes up with a different name to the street directory.

Happy mapping!
~Cameron
