[talk-au] Walker intention books - how to tag?

Anyone got any suggestions on how to tag walker intention books? These  
are located at the start of walks in remote areas so park rangers /  
rescue services know where you were going if you don't come back. The  
Hiking page http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Hiking doesn't help.

At Strzelecki Peaks on Flinders Island I recently tagged one, this was  
located with a board, so I used tourism=information,  
information=board, note=walker intention book located here.
I'm currently adding Staircase and Eskdale Spur walks on Mount Bogong  
- there are two books to tag, but no boards with them (just a post  
with a metal box containing the book - the map is elsewhere). Any  
ideas? (tourism=information, information=guidepost doesn't seem  
appropriate here!)

First Mount Bogong book will be here (I haven't saved anything yet so  
it looks rather blank at the moment):
