Thanks SteveA, some great resources there. I think I just had the
wrong mentality that a way had a "primary" tag and I had to "convert"
it, but I understand better now that the same way can have two tags
(assuming compatibility of course).

I'll add the highway=track tag to the existing ways. I'll also leave
the existing ways as is and add new ones when the new track detours
due to some impassibility as per everyone's suggestion. And then the
relevant ways will go in the respective relations.

Regarding wiki-documenting, I only just realised that the Australian
Tagging Guidelines has the recommended tags in the 'Rail Trails'
section. Perhaps I should summarise the discussion here and add it
there? Also, there is a Victoria > Bike paths page
(https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Victoria,_Australia/Bike_paths),
would an equivalent page for NSW be welcomed?
