I imported the locations of all the picnic sites in the ACT to OSM as
tourism=picnic_site with barbecue_stove=true. These were released on
data.australia.gov.au under a Creative Commons licence.
Unfortunately Mapnik and Osmarender don't seem to have graphics for
tourism=picnic_site or amenity=barbecue (Mapnik does have a landuse color if
you make a polygon of a picnic_site). I would have thought they would
already have a nice icon like this CC licenced one:
