[Qgis-user] Unable to open some LISTdata open data ESRI File Geodatabases

Hello

I've downloaded some  datasets from the LISTdata open data repository (https://listdata.thelist.tas.gov.au/opendata/index.html) -  which is a great service.
However, I can't open any datasets that are solely an ESRI File Geodatabase, e.g. https://listdata.thelist.tas.gov.au/opendata/data/NCH_ES_WATER_LOGGING_HAZARD_STATEWIDE.zip (279 MB)
Maybe these are raster gdb datasets? How can I tell if that is the case?
Is there any way the open a raster gdb other than with ESRI software?

I can open gdb files in QGIS from LISTdata that are included as part of a set with shapefile and MapInfo tab files (e.g. in the "Tasmanian Irrigation Irrigation District" dataset). I'm guessing that is because these are vector gdb files?

I'm running QGIS 3.10.6 ltr on Windows 10 64-bit (yes I know it's not the latest ltr, but it was the most recent "portable" build I have been able to find and run successfully).

Thanks
