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

[Tom Brennan]

I can agree with the last sentence, but not much else.

I think most of the people in this thread genuinely want to work with 
the various parks services to get OSM solutions that work for both parks 
and the OSM community.

We don't currently have any good communication channels.

If we can get the right lines of communication - which is difficult when 
you have OSM and NPWS being both distributed and bureaucratic in their 
own ways - I'm confident that we will be able to get outcomes that 
everyone is happy with.
