Holiday tripping...

Posted by JohnSmith on 27 December 2009 in English.

Well the xmas holidays are here and I've been travelling about a bit mapping the odd street and even another miniature railway, while the railway doesn't render the name does which just looks weird:

osm.org/go/ubT3PcHY

I've submitted a feature request to get these tourism attractions rendered by the main OSM style sheet, which would be yet another POI only mapped and shown by OSM :)

In any case if you have small children I recommend checking out the mini railway in Casino, NSW it runs every sunday from 10 till 4 and only costs $4/ride, although there was only 1 person on the next trip so we all got a second trip thrown in :)

Oh and I quickly whipped round Casino afterwards and tried to get as much GPS data as possible, others were with me so I couldn't spend as much time on this as I would have liked.

Casino is one of those towns that most people just travel through, it's only by chance that I'm even in the area. It's not exactly a small town (by Australian standards that is) since there is 15,000 people live there, but it's just 1 of hundreds of such towns that just haven't been shown enough OSM love yet.

Location: Casino, Richmond Valley Council, New South Wales, 2470, Australia

Nice to see you've put in the opening_hours tag for the miniature railway :)
(and the handy dandy note)

I try to add as much applicable information as possible.
