I hadn't seen that page until Andrew Davidson mentioned it earlier in 
the thread.

But the NSW Water Theme data falls under the DCS Foundational Spatial 
Data, which is listed as having a waiver, and thus usable...

[And I probably should have been more specific with the wording - I knew 
that CC BY 4 is not generally usable by itself. But was aware that many 
datasets for NSW have waivers!]

cheers
Tom
