Trip to Canberra

Had Christmas in Canberra this year and was impressed to see the currency of the data - my brother-in-law lives in one of the new estates which is all mapped. Well done to the Canberra guys!
Travelled the Hume Highway/Freeway. Collected parts of the north-bound lane of the Hume between Albury and Holbrook. Need someone to collect the south-bound lane and update highway to "motorway" where appropriate (impossible to know with only 1 side mapped! North & south-bound sections between Holbrook & Pettit have been mapped. The south-bound section around Pettit requires work - I didn't have the GPS on. Aside from that should all be good.
On the way back to Bendigo we took a different route, headed west out of Holbrook through to Culcairn and then meandered down to Corowa so there are a few new roads to add in. Also pick up a few new roads (including an unmapped 'C' road) in Victoria to add to the coverage. Will get around to mapping them in the next week or so. I am also working on a list of routes (M, A, B & C roads) for Victoria so everyone can see what needs to be done. Will put it on the wiki in due course.
OSM is great - gets you off the 'well trodden' routes and makes you see some of the magnificent (if not dry) landscape.
