[talk-au] 2377 occurrences of fixme="unknown type of water crossing"

[Warin]

Where these are in NSW the DCS Base Map shows where bridges are present.

Some culverts become fords in flood situations, and floods are quite 
possible with intermittent waterways so tagging as both a culvert and 
food way may be best where this occurs.

Personally I'd leave them alone, other than the obvious bridges they may 
not be resolved by imagery alone. I can see them being important on main 
roads .. so possibly those should be done.
