[talk-au] Overgrowing highway=track - change to path?

[Ewen Hill]

Hi Tom,
   Thanks for the great map updates. I think if you look at a Freeway that
replaces a Highway,  often the old Highway is reduced to a residential or
service road. I see this being much the same and if you can't drive a small
4wd vehicle (slip-on or maintenance vehicle) without bonsai-ing the buggery
out of the bush, it should be a path, along with all the other
no-through tracks off there imho.

Regards

Ewen
