Yep, & I was one of them, sorry :-(

In the News last week:
https://www-openstreetmap-org.translate.goog/user/LySioS/diary/398913?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=EN&_x_tr_hl=en-G

& the version in English is here:
https://wiki-openstreetmap-org.translate.goog/wiki/Business_card?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=EN&_x_tr_hl=en-GB

It would be nice if we had a central e-mail address for "OSM Australia"
that any subsequent enquiries could go to?

Thanks

Graeme
