“32 Tennant Creek” won’t work?
Tennant creek has a number of streets that could contain '32', it would not be considered 'correct addressing' by the postal service.. Putting addr:street=PRIVATE BAG 32 could work but there is no street 'PRIVATE BAG 32'.
As mentioned, addr:full could work
Yes, that seams suitable .. I had skipped over it assuming that the rest was to do with physical features, sorry. But it won't be parsed by software. I don't think that will matter much.

Example: The Barkly Homestead Has an address of PRIVATE BAG 32 Tennant Creek Northern Territory 0862 In OSM I can enter the state, town and post code. addr:village=Tennant Creek addr:state=Northern Territory addr:postcode=0862 I cannot enter the "PRIVATE BAG 32" as there is no OSM tag for it. Humm just came across addr:place, that may do? Err no "make sure there is a matchingplace <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place>=* object of the same name to keep data consistent. It is required by Nominatim for it to be able to find the addresses using it" there is no place that is "PRIVATE BAG 32" or "POST OFFICE BOX 3" ... ???other delivery types: Roadside Delivery RSD Roadside Mail Box/Bag RMBAre these letter boxes located next to the road, but rather far away from the house? These are mapped as amenity=letter_box, I believe? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dletter_box There is also amenity=post_box for a device where you deposite outgoing letters: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:amenity%3Dpost_box Is anything else missing, which can't be mapped with these tags or with Key:addr:* ? If none of the common values of addr:* will work, you can use addr:full=* https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/addr%3Afull -- Joseph Eisenberg On 3/19/20, Warin<61sundow...@gmail.com> <mailto:61sundow...@gmail.com> wrote:Hi, While there are methods of entering street addresses there don't appear to be any way to enter addresses that use Post Office Boxes and other delivery types. There is a proposal to may the existence of PO Boxes but no way to enter the address data for those that use them. As well as PO Boxes there exits several types of delivery methods in Australia, below are listed all of the officially accepted types with their officially accepted abbreviations. Care of Post Office CARE PO Community Mail Agent. CMA Community Mail Bag CMB Community Postal Agent CPA General Post Office Box GPO BOX Locked Bag LOCKED BAG Mail Service MS Post Office Box PO BOX Roadside Delivery RSD Roadside Mail Box/Bag RMB Roadside Mail Service RMS Private Bag PRIVATE BAG These all appear in the same placement of the addressed article. Perhaps a new tag addr:delivery_type=* could be used? Examples> Mr Smith PRIVATE BAG 32 Tennant Creek Northern Territory 0862 addr:delivery_type=PRIVATE BAG 32 Mr Jones GPO BOX 3 Sydney NSW 2000 addr:delivery_type=GPO BOX 3 In these cases there is no house number, street. There are still city/state/country and postal codes. -------------------------- References? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadside_Mail_Box https://www.staff.uwa.edu.au/facilities/mail/formats https://meteor.aihw.gov.au/content/index.phtml/itemId/430096 https://www.barklyhomestead.com.au/ -'contact us' they use PMB for Private Mail Bag._______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org <mailto:Tagging@openstreetmap.org> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging_______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org <mailto:Tagging@openstreetmap.org> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list Tagging@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
