  1. I have a problem with a Waymarker submitting found logs to my waymarks using the same generic log each time, basically "Going back through my hard drives from last year. Apologies for the late log but managed to grab this on the way through the area." , there is never a impression of the waymark he has visited. Am I correct in deleting the logs while at the same time asking that he adheres to the visit instructions
  2. You must be just lucky! Try submitting a Waymark from Australia, not only does East change to West but South also changes North , don't even think about parking co-ords as these can only be rectified after the Waymark has been approved and then may require 3 or 4 attempts
  3. At the present time there is no option on the proposal for State Heritage Lists are they going to be included ??
  4. The only link you need is this one: http://www.environment.gov.au/cgi-bin/ahdb/search.pl There is a State option, click on NSW for example (no need to fill out anything else) and it will show a complete alphabetical list of over 6000 listings, South Australia had over 3000, Tasmania has 2300 and so on. I found this link is the best way of looking up Heritage listings. There are other State Lists and a lot of other links, and some that just don't seem to work. This one is the best. You will see down at the bottom of the Search page, there are also links to further sites, so it's all there on the one page.
  5. I have made a few cosmetic changes for readability, and I have cleaned up a couple of other things, such as awkward language, and I have removed the restriction that overseas sites are not allowed, as discussed in the forum. I also removed the exclusion for UNESCO sites, because it seems to me that (1) allowing those few sites into this category does not create a redundancy issue, (2) UNESCO sites with their own listing should be included if ALL sites on the listed databases are to be included, and (3) every other category accepts cross-posting of UNESCO sites as long as the site has its own listing in the country's particular national heritage register. For example: The San Antonio missions are UNESCO sites, and are also on the US National Register of Historic Places. Therefore, they can be and are waymarked in both categories.
  6. I have had a look at the proposal but , according to the Australian Heritage page they claim over 20,000 locations as in the submission , however on the Commonwealth list there are 400, the National list 107 and 19 on the World list , where are the other 19.500?? and how do I find them ??. As of 2012 the Register of the National Estate ceased to exist. Do we include the individual State Heritage lists?
  7. W.A has 12,889 km of coastline but only fishing boat harbours (ports) at Fremantle,Dongara and Geraldton , but what about the other townships who depend on fishing for the main income that have no port or harbour only a jetty with the fishing boats being anchored off the beach.
  8. I'm a bit confused as to what constitutes a port. Here in Western Australia there are many small fishing communities that have less than six crayboats, some only have a small jetty for unloading and refuelling while others unload straight on to the beach,the crayfish are kept in coolrooms and transported to the processing plant by truck, are these places to be included???
  9. According to Wiki a Lych Gate is a gateway covered with a roof found at the entrance to a traditional English or English-style churchyard. So basically it should have a roof , there may be seats on the sides and it may or may not have gates, if you Google "Lych Gate images" it will give you some idea of what I am looking for
  10. A lych gate is as separate from the church listing as are the foundation stone , stained glass windows, the bell tower and cemetery (if there is one)
  11. As you approach a church you might enter the churchyard through a small wooden gate with a pitched roof, this is a lych gate also known as a corpse gate and can date back to the 13th century. They can be found in many European countries as well as America and Australia. There doesn't appear to be anywhere in the current categories in which they fit , hence this proposal
