This (and Ian's) sounded like pretty good advice, so I have uploaded a
boundary for Randwick based on Andrew's OSM version of the ABS
SSC_2011_AUST, checked and manually adjusted by eyeballing Bing vs SIX
and the Council's PDF map, and simplified by hand.
The changeset is here:
<http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/22023461>, does anyone have any
comments about how it could be improved?
I noticed that as for many suburbs in SA, since I replaced the
place=suburb node previously used the name of the suburb is no longer
rendered. What's best practice here, do we really want to different
entities with the same name?
