Hi all, I've been looking at http://data.australia.gov.au/127, which contains all the national parks, state forest, conservation areas and so on in Queensland. If no-one else had been doing anything with this, I'd been thinking about adding it to OSM.
Current practice seems to be tagging them all as boundary=national_park, regardless of whether they're National Parks or other things like State Forests. Would adding national_park=state_forest and similar to the tags be a good idea? There's also a bunch of things like "resource reserves" and "timber reserves" inside the parks, any good suggestions about how to tag those? This would obviously be a manual piece-by-piece upload, since it would need merging with existing data there's interesting things like river/road names we can pull out (because it has the road reserves marked). A converted file with most of the attributes cleaned up is at http://www.sunsetutopia.com/qld_parks.osm.bz2 if anyone wants to look, but it still needs a lot of merging of polygons and the like -- James
