Not sure what your point here is Liz apart from interesting information?
Although it does back up what I was saying about the ABS begin
incomplete not having every designated place - I assume Beelbangera
doesn't even exist in the ABS data?
Still it seems to have the 2 places you mention in vaguely the right
place (Not in Queensland for example ;) so as always it's better than a
void.
