Imagery is good for all areas although there is a slight offset in the roads (Quilpie, Thargomindah - judging by Mapillary) which would be good to fix before any mapathon.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-fareast-language:EN-US'>Getting a venue with good internet is likely the hardest part of the deal!
