[talk-au] Where do national/state park boundaries come from?
Hi all, I notice that we have some national park boundaries, but not all. Anyone know where they come from? Are there any usable sources of data? I can't see that attempting to find the boundaries by driving/walking around the park would be very fruitful.

To clarify, my question is not how do I find NP boundaries - that's easy, there are maps on parkweb.vic.gov.au etc. My question is how can I find NP boundaries that I can trace/import into OSM? To pick a concrete one, I'm interested in Lerderderg State Park: http://www.protectedplanet.net/sites/Lerderderg_State_Park Steve ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

National and state park boundaries for Victoria (from the Department of Sustainability and Environment's Vicmap Lite package) were released under a CC - Attribution 2.5 Australia licence earlier this year. You can download the polygon data as a KMZ file here: http://www.data.vic.gov.au/raw_data/vicmap-lite-parks/73 For other states, the South Australian data is here (as Shapefiles): http://data.australia.gov.au/589 and there are various Queensland files on the same site. ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
