Re: [talk-au] ABS postcode boundaries
Something else I've noticed, the postcode boundaries cover some areas that other boundaries don't and would have come in handy for doing sections of road and river that can't easily be done from low res sat imagery :) ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

Well I can fix the boundary up for one area from personal knowledge, others we'd have to pester auspost for better information or postal workers or find people living near or on post code boundaries or ? ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au

I know exactly the postcode boundaries of one postcode and others less specifically and I can say with complete certainty that the ABS is off a fair bit in places. At a guess it seems they shoe horned the postcode information into their existing boundaries, but it is wrong none the less, so the question is how much baby do we throw out with the bath water? ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
[talk-au] ABS postcode boundaries
Hi all, I've created a set of .osm files from the ABS postcode boundary data. Each .osm file is a way that encloses the postcode, so that you could use it to find the boundaries of that postcode. John has kindley provided hosting for the files at:- http://maps.bigtincan.com/data/postcodes/ cheers -- Franc ___ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
