[talk-au] Vic hospital locations

2009-12-18 Thread John Smith
I've been looking over the data.australia.gov.au site some more, so
far there is a kml file for vic hospitals, as a result most of the
useful information is in html type formating and seems to include a
lot of disclaimers about the information being best effort/use at own
risk...

00clampToGround145.06,-37.8688,0
Alexandra District
Hospital


I can code something up to convert this if I have to, but has anyone
already converted something similar?

Probably just covering their back - because people looking for a
hospital do tend to be "at risk" if the data's off...

Yea I know, it just seems a little excessive, especially when they
could have still covered their butts by putting a single disclaimer in
about usage of the information.

Yea, the boat ramps and boating hazards have geo info and are linked
on the geography page, but these other datasets aren't listed on the
geography page so we didn't consider them previously.

Erm I saw a file full of locations with street addresses, but we don't
have a suitable geocoder that we can use to get lat/lon for these
places that I know of.

Operating mines had lat and long
Mineral processing plants didn't
any of these things should be big enough to see on satellite imagery with a 
rough idea of where to start looking
