[talk-au] New blogs on unsealed roads in Victoria

[Ewen Hill]

Ian,
   I posted this to a private bikepacking group to see if there was any
interest. In 12 hours you had 235 likes, 6 shares and 58 comments all
positive and most putting their hand up. This is a fantastic use of OSM and
the tools around it and will show that OSM is just not a map on their
Strava App. Chapeau!

"Impressive that someone is able to use available resources to put this
together. I have wondered if such a route was possible, but gave up after
10 minutes of searching."
"Im in. Ive done north to south. East to West has to be done! Then we can
turn around and ride home"
"That's fantastic. I've added it to my to-do list - it might take a few
years to get around to it though.. or maybe to be done in sections. The
documentation and blogging on the process looks great - a lot of work."
"jeepers, won’t have legs after something like this"
