[talk-au] Extracting Map data for Australian cities

[Matt White]

As a down and dirty command, this sort of thing works a treat (you might 
need to append "-0.6" to each of the commandline options depending on 
the version of osmosis you are using)

Based on extracting a subset of data from an OSM file - the bounding box 
is a rough cut of NSW

java -Xmx512M -jar osmosis.jar --read-xml file="australia.osm" 
--bounding-box left="140.971" right="154.500 " top="-28" bottom="-37" 
--write-xml file="NSW.osm"
