G'day All

I was testing map a that was made for the TwoNav Aventura GPS.  While I
was looking around the map I come across this
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=-35.2394lon=149.19164zoom=16layers=B000FTF
 I don't really like playing around in someone else backyard.  I leave
it to someone in Canberra who is familiar with the area to fix up if it
needs to be.

I live in Canberra and noticed the same thing some time ago.  I haven't 
found an excuse yet to visit the specific area.

But the history seems to indicate that it could be legit:

It looks like someone just converted a GPS trace to OSM data and uploaded it.

 But the history seems to indicate that it could be legit:
 http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/16165199/history

It's some kind of forest tracks looking at it overlaid on Nearmap imagery...

GPS trace of someone severely lost in the forest :-)

Don't see how it could possibly be a cycleway track as tagged.

Perhaps it's best to just delete it. There are some cuttings which could be 
traced from NearMap though.

If a lot of free cover, it could be a poor GPS tracing. Needs resurvey. 
Have we asked the original mapper and got his/her information on the track?

I think there is a single track mountain bike course about there
somewhere... it has that look about it and it appears that the same
track has been gone over twice in some places.

In that case it might be best contacting who ever added this to OSM as
they might be able to fix it up using GPS + nearmap...
