Thanks John,   all help very much appreciated.  Once I finish Canberra I
will start helping out to clear keep right errors in Sydney.
Keep right is the best method, in m,y view, since it gives immediate
feedback on what errors still need to be fixed and also an indication
of how much good work you've just done - both important things, I believe.


I hope it was not mne that left those disconnections in Cootamundra, I'm
 always very careful about that even if I'm no so fussy that the road
corners are untra smooth and pretty or conversely that I use the absolute
mimimum number of nodes and end up with really ugly ways.   Cootra was half
mapped before I got there and I don't recall cleaning it up with keep right
so maybe the disconnections were not me (hopefully).


PS Candelo also needs remapping (along with Cobago)

Ben wrote Also, thank you for fixing those track sections at St Marys. Do
you know what happened there?
Given there was a derailment there 2 months ago, I find
this a spooky co-incidence...


Co-incidently I was in Sydney for the day, on that day, for a work meeting
and as I was heading back to the XPT I saw the signs about the derailment.
As to the mis-edit, probably just and overmapped helper from overseas who
should have given up an hour before and gone to bed. Making lots of boring
edits all at once is a recipe for lots of mistakes.


Thanks for the links - it seems that the area around Pictgon is very
problematic - this is not looking good :-( .  Also  flying it to Australia
could be difficult since the world record for the longest cargo is 42
metres (in an Antinov 225 aircraft).

Still, I don't have a problem with trying to set a world record.   If this
doesn't work then we would need to ship it to Australia or maybe just build
it/them here, but how boring would that be. This could be all about making
huge headlines around the country which would be a win for everyone
ionvolved.
