[talk-au] Putting streams into OSM

My main area of interest from a stream point of view is the Hawkesbury 
Catchment, outside the Sydney suburban boundaries.

I haven't been involved in any imports so you'll have to excuse my 
ignorance.

Could the dataset be split into say urban/non-urban and the non-urban 
parts imported? Or do partial imports just create more work? What sort 
of sanity checks need to be carried out?

cheers
Tom
