[Aust-NZ] RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] HELP PLEASE - Does anyone know where I can get high resolution GIS data for use in tutorials? [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]

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.
