[talk-au] Using data from traditional owners of the land / Current waiver form

[Phil Wyatt]

I had a quick check of the area and I reckon the trail ‘follows’ many of the roads/4wd tracks in the area and then deviates to places of interests so it’s not a rigidly defined track/walk. One each guided walk there may well be different places visited depending on the season or the conditions on the day. I would have no hesitation adding the roads/4wd tracks that proliferate in the area but that is as far as I would go without support of the indigenous locals.

 

Cheers - Phil

It's an interesting conundrum that perhaps going forward we need to flag how
we deal with sacred areas and knowledge that should be respected by not
being mapped. 

 

But the Trail itself is open for anybody to walk along, isn't it?

 

So there's nothing stopping an enthusiastic OSM'er from walking it with their GPS, then innocently mapping it, without knowing that that is against the wishes of the local community.

 

Maybe we need some sort of "Do not map" protection for sensitive areas so we can draw a box over the length of the Trail & "10" (?) km either side, so that nothing can be inserted in there? Could be set-up either as a visible greyed out area on the map, or as an area that you just can't edit - feasible?

 

Thanks
