Dear All

FYI.

data,<http://www.ga.gov.au/bin/htsqr?file=/oracle/geomet/geomet2.htsqr&datasetno\

RASTER, is now available free online. It forms the backbone of our
NATMAP Raster products which are popular in the recreational and
commercial markets.

This much anticipated release will be of significant benefit to GIS
users across a wide range of applications, such as regional planning,
agriculture, emergency management, environment, tourism and map based
presentations. Commercial map makers will also benefit, with the data
(an alternative to vector data) allowing for the development of
commercial map products for tourism and other markets.

Australian Government's<http://www.osdm.gov.au/osdm/policy.html>
