Hi,
I followed a chain of links from the 'possible data sources' and found an
Australian
Government web site where it's possible to download various bit of
geospatial data.
The license (attached) seems to grant the right to do pretty much anything
with it, as
long as you acknowledge the source (legalese melts my brain, so I'd really
appreciate
soneone double checking it).
If there is some way we can comply with the license then I'll start working
on importing
it, which looks reasonably easy.

liability for any breach of such statutory condition or warranty will be
limited, at its option, to replacement of the Data, or payment of the cost of
replacing the Data.
15. Release and Indemnity: The Licensee releases and indemnifies OSDM, the

and must erase all copies under its control, unless otherwise directed by
OSDM.

agreement or understanding.
22. Severance: Any reading down or severance of a particular provision of the
Licence does not affect the remaining provisions.
23. Waiver: No forbearance, delay or indulgence by a Party in enforcing the
provisions of the Licence will prejudice or restrict the rights of that
Party, nor will waiver of those rights operate as a waiver of any subsequent
breach.
24. Applicable Law: The Licence is governed by the law of the Australian Capital
Territory and the Parties submit to the jurisdiction of courts of that
Territory.
25. Application within the Commonwealth: Where the Licensee is an agency of the

mere arrangement.
