[talk-au] suburb boundaries import

[Narelle Irvine]

The Dept of Lands database was said to be 94% correct in 2007 and improving.
Most of their errors relate to the house numbers on a street, and I
would assume that their suburb boundaries are correct.
This data should take precendence over ABS data.

Regards,
Narelle.
