[talk-au] How to label ill-defined places?

[Ewen Hill]

Hi Ian and belated welcome aboard.
 Your tagging logic looks great, better than most. Whilst most prefer
natural features to not use place:locality, I believe that this is the
perfect fit where the name is used colloquially for that area of land
surrounding the river.
Perhaps consider when it slightly confusing to use
note: location approximate or,
note: location not clearly defined
(or similar) so the next mapper who may have more local knowledge knows
that the node can be moved or improved.

All the best with the Murray river, a nice short water way to get start off
with ;)
