[talk-au] National Park Boundaries from LPI NSW Admin Boundaries

[Warin]

I too have added some areas/boundaries...

State Forests;
Enfield
Nowendoc
Terrible Billy
Doyles River
Enfield
Giro
Brassey

National Parks;
Curracabundi
Myall Lakes - modified boundary to match, and remover layer=-5.
Bretti
Mummel Gulf
Woko
Cottan Bimbang

Nature Reserves;
Black River
Ngulin

State Conservation areas;

and so on.

My 'mousing' skill/resolution varies... it is better than what is there now. But a mechanical import would be better...

 From what I see on the LPI pages .. they want to sell you the data ... you can view it on the web.. but I have not been able to save it effectively.

But I am still lookin.
