Suggest you survey shopfronts / parks (or work out which land parcels are parks) / public buildings. IMO street names and addresses are on life row (opposite to death row I guess) for release under CC By in Queensland. And yes there is an astronomy observatory near the airport, fairly well

Folks NearMap's flood run of Brisbane is partially online. e.g. in the CBD through to Oxley Creek at least. Sam Vekemans has expressed interest to me in helping trace the flood line. All I can say to that right now is please trace not just to the level of the visible floodwater but also

Re: [talk-au] How to tag a non-existent road

Sam, May I respectfully disagree? A reason I'm putting in highway=road ways is that even though I may never have the petrol or time to get out to most of these places, others might. And if others might, they may have a GPS logger. If they do, great, they can adjust my naive centreline ways
