[talk-au] Australia licence change redaction recovery..

[Simon Poole]

Ian, thanks for the interesting data. I believe we are all somewhat
relieved that we are recovering from the redaction process relatively
fast, if not faster than expected.

PS: There is however still room for a large mapping party in Sydney to
collect street names :-)
