[Mapserver-users] data for maps of australia and new zealand.

Tom,

For Australian data, see Geoscience Australia's website ( http://www.ga.gov.au ). Geoscience Australia is the Commonwealth Government's provider of geographic and geological information. Many datasets can be downloaded for free from the website, including topographic vector data ranging in scale from 1:10M to 1:1M. 1:100K and 1:250K vector data is also available, but you'll have to pay.

For New Zealand data, I'm not so sure, but you could start with Land Information New Zealand ( http://www.linz.govt.nz ).

Dave

Hi,

I need to get some shapefiles for a mapserver project. I need area boundaries and town names
in Australia and New Zealand. Are the any sources that you can recommend that can be used relatively
cheaply in a non-commercial project?

Cheers

T.

ps I am coming back to mapserver, I've used it a coupld of times before a year or so ago, so I'm
a bit rusty.
