Hi
this is complete now for Qld.
When the boundary=forest get rendered, it should help to improve landuse and landcover mapping. 
The landuse=forest makes it difficult to map separate natural and plantation areas within a forest and see it rendered.
I came across a few duplicate overlapping landuses within in the forests so I changed the tagging for these to landcover=trees + plantation=yes. 
Hopefully the messiness in these things get resolved to everyones satisfaction eventually.  
I notice that that gas extraction seems to be the main activity in many of the State Forests in southern Qld west of the ranges until the trees regrow.
