Unfortunately the comment "there is something there" is actually a problem - I've found examples where I thought I could get through an area because there was a road on the map, when in fact there wasn't. Boro Road near Tarago NSW was historically one such example. I drove a few kilometres into that road only to find that it abruptly stopped at a fence and thick trees. The OSM data indicated that the road continued on. Imported data often has problems. I see it all the time as I actually go out and explore these places. The imported data *was* rubbish in this case. That's not a reflection on you - it's a reflection on the source data, so please don't take it personally. Ok?

G'day,
I drove those tracks and many of them are sign posted. I might have taken a picture of the signs (I can check), but I certainly do not just make the names up!
All of my mapping has been done by "survey", and I often find errors in the LPI and other database imports. I'm pretty sure this is one!
