A Perth street map I have has the path of the Dampier-Bunbury gas
pipeline mapped. Now that's a clear target and isn't even readily
visible in real life, but there doesn't seem to be a problem with it
being mapped. So I don't think it's something we need to worry about.
The locations of telephone exchanges are widely available, people use
them to work out how fast their ADSL should be.
