I have been looking at the GeoScience Australia Downloads but all these
are too broad for most of what I do. Need something at 1:25,000 or
better. <br>
<br>
I suppose the biggest problem is aerial photography. What little is out
there is very broad scale regional stuff. Nothing showing just one
small area at a scale typically used by people such as myself.<br>
<br>
I am aware of the Australia Spatial Directory but I was hoping to find
some freely downloadable and free to use datasets, before I go begging
to data suppliers or data custodians.<br>

Simon,
Check out the Australian Spatial Data Directory [1].
Geoscience Australia also have a wide range of datasets that I understand are now available via Creative Commons.

Subject: [OSGeo-Discuss] HELP PLEASE - Does anyone know where
I can get high resolution GIS data for use in tutorials?
Hi,
*** Sorry for cross-posting for those people on both lists ***
Does anyone have or know of some high resolution vector and
raster data that can be used in tutorials?
The datasets need to be unfetted by intellectual property
constraints.
Essentially I want to build a set of tutorials around this
data and have the users able to download and manipulate the
data without breaking any laws.
Preferably I would like data for Australia, even better
southeast Australia.
Data
* georeferenced aerial photography (ECW or JPG, 0.15m/pixel)
* shapefiles showing cadastral data, soils, contours, roads
* DWG files showing details of a development or plan
Spatial Reference System
* GDA94 MGA55
