[talk-au] Proposed import of SA waterbodies data

[Daniel O'Connor]

Secondly, is it better to do 4x imports for each feature set; starting at
the most high level feature layer?

I mean there are commonly things you just don't expect, so a trial run with
large obvious features is probably best; pushing further into detail.

Third one; why just features with names?
Part of the motivation for mapping smaller dams has been for things like
XPlane (realistic terrain); and excluding unnamed features would
potentially make the data set less useful than it could be
