[talk-au] Deletion of informal paths by NSW NPWS

[Tom Brennan]

I thought I'd see if the tagging details in the US Trail Access Project 
link might be useful for Australia.

I tagged all of the tracks out at Kanangra - mainly because it has a mix 
of tracks, but few enough that it's easy to cover them all - with 
operator=NPWS or informal as appropriate. Basically the maintained ones 
with operator tags, others as informal.

I know Gaia (for example) renders informal tracks with less priority 
than formal tracks, though I don't know exactly the combinations of tags 
they are focussing on. I believe they refresh their tiles every 2-3 
weeks so I'll have a look again in a few weeks.

If you're into mapping bush tracks, I hacked an Overpass Turbo query 
which does a pretty good job of visualising some of the useful tags (and 
where tags are missing). Happy to share.

cheers
Tom
