Hi,

There are inconsistencies in tagging of 'lakes' around Mungo national 
Park...

The DCS base map show them as lakes ...

I am not certain what the DCS Topo map is showing .. but they all the 
same. I think it is 'intermittent lake' over 'sand'?


A water lake one -

name     Lake Mungo

natural     water

surface     salt

water     lake

intermittent     yes


vs the others e.g.

name     Lake Leaghur

natural     wetland


Similar inconsistencies extend out to at least Ivanhoe.


To my way of thinking they are lakes, dry most of the time, not wetlands.


Thoughts? In particular the rendering of the DCS Topo map ... what is 
their meaning?
