[talk-au] Victorian routes

[Craig Feuerherdt]

I took to route numbers from the Mainroads web site & have used the VicRoads
document for visual comparison against OSM, so the real copyright may be
with the Mainroads web site (which I am still awaiting a response from the
site author).
Agree a GoogleDoc is another alternative if it gets ugly :)
I notice you haven't made any changes to the page yet - what have(n't) you
been doing :D
