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. -- =b _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list Talk-au@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
