[talk-au] suburb boundaries import

[Ben Kelley]

Hi.

For NSW the Lands Department's "Geospatial Portal"
http://gsp.maps.nsw.gov.au/ can show suburb boundaries in the cadastral
layer.

Of the area in question, where the ABS shows the boundary going neatly down
the middle of my street, the NSW Lands Department shows the boundary between
1 street and 1/2 a street further south. That is, on the next street south,
some houses are in my suburb, and some are in the next suburb.
