[talk-au] Import boundary of Googong Foreshores

[Andrew Harvey]

Sounds fine to me, especially given most NSW national parks have already
been imported via the LPI Base Map as you pointed out.

You can use both leisure=nature_reserve and boundary=protected_area. I'm
not familiar with that reserve but you'll need to pick the closest
protect_class you think it matches
