OpenStreetMap Wiki page Australian Tagging Guidelines has been

access public land ...
No!
The NSW NPSW do legally exclude the public from certain areas and at least
vehicles from certain tracks.
The NSW, WA, SA and Victorian State Forests legally exclude the public too ..
think about the car rallies held from time to time.
Even 'public roads' get closed to the public from time to time... how else
would the Bathurst Road Race be held?????
I have remove the offending statement from the wiki. I did attempt to contact
the user .. but the wiki page has no send a message' type thiny ... hence this
message.
Found the contact ... made comments on 2 changesets.
Confusion may have arisen over plain English understanding of
access=no
But the tags are
access=no
foot=yes
meaning you can access by foot but nothing else... in the OSM data base.
I have been using
motor_vehicle=no (or motorcar=no / motorcycle=no)
foot=yes (or foot=designated)
and depending on other tags
bicycle=no (or bicycle=designated if specifically signposted)

Thanks Mark. That is a good method...
I'd use motor_vehicle as that covers trucks, tractors etc.
On review I think something for the Oz wiki tagging guide lines page
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Tagging_Guidelines#Access_roads_on_public_land
along the lines of
"Where an access road crosses public land it should not be assumed to have or not have
access restrictions. Where a sign says "Authorised vehicles Only" or you know that
access is restricted the tag motor_vehicle=private could be used to indicate the access
restriction.
Access restrictions for others (walkers, cyclists etc.) should be found on the
access wiki page (link to http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:access).
To help other mappers recognise the validity of the access restriction a sourec tag
can be used e.g. source:access_motor_vehicle=sign on eastern end of road"
