[talk-au] Roads that follow ABS suburb boundaries

[b.schulz.10 at scu.edu.au]

Ok, I split the ABS boundary way as needed and added highway=tertiary to it. This is what has been done with the rivers in the area which follow ABS boundaries.

Can somebody confirm that this was the correct course of action?
