But if you tagged it on the 1,000,000 hectare property and it was then
displayed at the centroid you'd never find the access to the property as
it's centroid is not even close to the road where the address is.
The entrance is here:
http://binged.it/1Rn0nOY
but the centroid is about here:
http://binged.it/1Rn0zhb
The property across the road is similar, with it's entrance on the same
road but the centroid is about 25kms away.
In the case of both these properties a better representation is the name
of the property, the first is Lorella Springs and the second is Bauhinia
Downs but neither is on the property in osm.
But the node is a perfect representation of where the entrance of the
property is and that's what the Australian/New Zealand standard is for
addressing.
Copy of standard is here:
http://shop.standards.co.nz/catalog/4819:2011(AS%7CNZS)/scope?
If you don't want to read it all it basically says that rural addresses
are determined by the entrance to the property and the number is
determined by the distance from the reference point for the road. This
will be the start of the road for a no through road or as determined for
a through road. It also says that moving away from the reference point
along the road the even numbers will be on the right and the odd numbers
on the left.
This makes it extremely easy for any on to find an address in rural
areas of Australia.
For example an address of:
146 A Road
A Locality
Will be 1.46 km from the start of the road on the right hand side as the
numbers are increasing.
Like wise:
12677 A Road
Another Locality
will be 126.77 km from the start fo the road on the left hand side.
It also makes it extremely easy to determine how addresses in Australia
should be mapped. Not on the property or building.

In Australia the address refers to the property ie the plot of ground that is
defined by the cadastral plan.
So those plots of ground may be 600 sq m or 1,000,000 hectares and may have
zero, one or many buildings.
generally it will be more useful to have an area tagged where there is one, eg
in your examples above. A node is not a nice representation of an address on a
1000,000 hectares property
