[OSM-talk] Quarry or construction?

[Joseph Reeves]

I know you don't want specifics, but that one's a quarry:

http://www.nearmap.com/?ll=-37.950822,145.097364&z=19&t=h&nmd=20100416

You can see the weigh station used to work out how much material each
truck is leaving with, there's also some round piles of material under
the the tell-tale conveyor belts.

But weight station and buildings by the entrance = quarry.

Cheers, Joseph
