The difference is whether the list was published by VicRoads in that form.
Even if the individual items in the list are not copyright, the list as a
whole can be. I'm pretty sure about this in Australian law. (But like I
said, I don't think it matters much. Even if VicRoads complained, I'd be
inclined to turn it into a GoogleDocs or something, shared just amongst us -
perfectly valid for personal research.)
