[talk-au] Attempt at mapping the NSW alpine area.

[cleary]

Warin This is the part of NSW with which I am least familiar but I can't
work out what it is that is being mapped. I couldn't see any relation
between Bing imagery and the tracings in your polygon. If it is actually
the area above the tree-line, then I don't have a problem with it
although perhaps it should be natural=tundra rather than landcover. If
it is a reasonably close approximation then OK but if it is a very loose
approximation, it might be better to await better information. It would
be good to hear from others who are familiar with that landscape.

      It comes from Bing imagery - probably snow cover. It is a bit
      course - so the resolution is not good.

      The area is in the data base as relation 5985104 tagged
      landcover=tundra (this will not render).

      It is not a complete area, there are a few bits left off .. in
      particular to the south.

      But it might be a start. I don't want to put much more work in on
      it untill I have some comments on it.
