[talk-au] Country homesteads?

[Graeme Fitzpatrick]

Also bringing discussion out here from Discord.

An anonymous user is hitting Notes with quite a few entries yesterday to
say that remote homesteads are incorrectly tagged as hamlets eg
https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/3145380, but looking at this particular
place
https://www.openstreetmap.org/edit?node=1829712552#map=17/-21.96106/148.80882,
I'd say that "hamlet" was probably correct in that there could well be a
couple of families living there?

Other suggestions that have been made are place=isolated_dwelling or
place=farm.

Bit of a grey area, I guess? Isolated-dwelling says 1-2 families only,
hamlet says 100-200 people, while place=farm says "a family of farmers".
Guess it really depends on the particular property involved, which would
require detailed local knowledge?

Thoughts?

Thanks

Graeme
