Have just done some checking around our area & found that a lot of the place=locality listings should probably be =suburb or =neighbourhood (& a lot of them were done by me, so I'll have to go in & fix them all!). Couple to get an opinion on though, please. https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4313816641#map=14/-28.1502/153.3205 is Austinville, which is the area located along the length of Austinville Road. Austinville is a valid locality name, but there is no actual spot you can point to & say that's Austinville - there are no shops, petrol station etc, only houses / farms & a Community Hall. What would it be if it's not a =locality? =village / hamlet / suburb / neighbourhood? Same thing for Springbrook: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4316622215#map=14/-28.1872/153.2702, which is the area on top of Springbrook Mountain. Once again, fairly sparsely populated - maybe 500?, but no distinct centre of town, except one general store, a Primary School & a handful of cafe's. There are a few others around that are similar - they have a population, but there are only 100 - 200 people living in an area of 200+ sq k - seems way to sparse to be labelled as village or anything similar? Thanks Graeme
