Hi, *** Sorry for cross-posting for those people on both lists *** Does anyone have or know of some high resolution vector and raster data that can be used in tutorials? The datasets need to be unfetted by intellectual property constraints. Essentially I want to build a set of tutorials around this data and have the users able to download and manipulate the data without breaking any laws. Preferably I would like data for Australia, even better southeast Australia.

Bruce, I have been looking at the GeoScience Australia Downloads but all these are too broad for most of what I do. Need something at 1:25,000 or better. I suppose the biggest problem is aerial photography. What little is out there is very broad scale regional stuff. Nothing showing just one small area at a scale typically used by people such as myself. I am aware of the Australia Spatial Directory but I was hoping to find some freely downloadable and free to use datasets, before I go begging to data suppliers or data custodians.

Simon, IMO: After the recent Victorian Government Inquiry into public sector information, the outcome was that Vic Govt data should also be provided via Creative Commons. You should be able to see most of their VicMap datasets via the ASDD. There will be a lot of other more detailed data via DSE/Catchment Management Authority partnerships. Probably to the scale that you're after. Again check the ASDD. I'm assuming that you have DSE/SII contacts. Contact me off line if you don't.

Bruce, Yes I have DSE/CALP contacts. Although data can be extracted from land.vic.gov.au under data supply agreements, these contracts do not extend to third parties. I would need to get special permission to allow a dataset to be downloaded by whomever would visit my website. I could put up a special case to the right people but wanted to exhaust using available datasets already able to be downloaded. As it is, it appears most of what exists on the web is broad scale and I need much finer resolution. I wait to see if anyone else responds to my post. If nothing turns up in a couple of days I approach some people within land.vic.gov.au. Cheers Simon Simon Cropper Botanicus Australia Pty Ltd PO Box 160, Sunshine, Victoria 3020. P: 9311 5822.
