Dion,
Thanks for your hard work to date and good luck with your trek. I
am happy to help you off-line and this is open to conjecture however I
would ...
1. Create a single master relation and attach all elements to this
2. Where the track may split into two (e.g into the town/skirting
around it) perhaps create alternative more localised relationships
See the existing relation - that has at least 2 alternatives .. one is
closed due to the rile range... and not likely to open any time soon.
Another is to get around the expensive private ferry from Brooklyn to
Pantonga - 2 possiblities.
OSM routes for bushwalking, MTBs, cycling, horse riding, skiing can all
be found on that site https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/ if they are
tagged as routes in OSM.
3. I would attach all benches, seats, potable water points etc. to the
master. This will allow users to easily download everything they need.
This is probably frowned on however in planning the Munda Biddi Trail
attack, I have found this invaluable ... and critical to the planning
for water points. Others will disagree.
Yep. Does not go well with a 'route' definition.
If you want this it could be better as a 'site relation' - containing
the water, camp, shops etc .. and possibly the route relation too as a
member?
4. I would suggest using mapillary to upload some sections of the
track where it is complex. You can then upload these images and rework
the route accordingly and have the appropriate sign posts.
5. Have fun and enjoy - don't get bogged down in mapping whilst
enjoying the trip.
Most, if not all, of the route mapping is done. It is the 'extras' that
are missing.
Yes there may be some sign posts missing.. but of more importance are
water, toilets ... I think camp sites re done.. as are the remote shops.
Remote transport (e.g. Somersby) is not done.
P.S. I'd rather have somewhat cooler regards at this time of year. :)

G'day all!
I've started walking the Great North Walk and was miffed that I
couldn't
immediately find a good online map showing the full route from
Sydney to
Newcastle. Instead I found incredibly difficult to navigate
websites, paywalled
online maps, and maps split up into many smaller pages.
I decided to walk it myself and create a map for it here:
https://thinkmoult.com/map-of-the-great-north-walk-sydney-to-newcastle.html
Out of curiosity, I was wondering what things I can help map while
I'm on this
route? I am not currently aware of a single "route" / multi-line
in the OSM
database that describes the Great North Walk.
I considered mapping the sign posts, but they are quite plenty and
probably of
little benefit.
Any ideas?
