[talk-au] ABC article - Google Maps in Eromanga

[Bob Cameron]

I actually complained to the qldtraffic website as they use the Google 
source. They also have other errors like toilets defined as disabled 
when you have to climb 6 steps up! It's quite slow and clunky to use on 
a regional 3G connection.

I was only in Eromanga (again) 3 weeks ago and have done a lot of OSM 
fixes around town. I have retaken the imagery (now in 4K) as well - 
covering all streets, but it wont be up live for a month or two. (upload 
size and speed) Would anyone interested please critique my edits. I was 
"caught there" behind flood waters for a few days. Some of the imagery 
shows me driving through shallow/wide/slow floodwaters near there.

Diesel was $1.46/L at the refinery there, $1.55 at Thargomindah and 
$1.75 at Noccundra Hotel

Cheers Bob
