I think they already flew Ballerat, and yes the Melbourne imagery
extends into NSW, we could split the polygon and get a more accurate
answer we could also spend more time aligning the boundaries to be
more exact as well, but I did this mostly out of curiosity.

Then they just need a few other capitals (Darwin, Hobart), missing
sections of current cities (Ipswich, west of Brisbane) and regional
centres (Dubbo, Tamworth, Toowoomba etc) and that would cover the
majority of the population...
