The UBD printed maps have a marking called "untrafficable road" (or something to that effect). Basically it's a designation for roads which are gazetted but don't exist.
eg: Stanley Road, Epping, NSW: OSM: http://osm.org/go/u...@fn8li- Whereis: http://www.whereis.com/nsw/epping/stanley-rd?id=93E9799C00893A There's a creek which runs through there, along with a ~10m high cliff face on the Northern side. I used to live in Knox Ave and spent much of my childhood exploring the bush around there.
