Just asking out of interest - what's the reason for using relations? Or
is it specifically for the search that you mentioned?

Yes, I don't like the current DCS stream layer - streams going up and
over ridges in some places!
I understand that DCS is in the process of bringing the stream data up
to date post the LIDAR scans of all of NSW. But it sounds like it is
bogged down in some non-technical issues (ie nothing related to the
actual dataset). So no idea when it will be released!
I'd be interested if anyone knows anything definite about the data - my
info is hearsay.
cheers
