GDAL Results Interpret for Australian Raster

[J. Delfos]

Those are pretty unusual bounding X coordinates. Where in Oz are you?
Check out this page:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc40/raster-howto.html#formats

It has examples. I'd say your file is in UTM, but projected in the wrong
zone (2 zones too many to the east, or something). Your projection is
probably MGA, but possibly AMG. You better find out, because they differ
200m.

Hello all,

I have a rasterset covering parts of Australia. TatukGis and other
products can view it, but I cannot even get it to simply display in
mapserver - usually just a blank screen. Furthermore, the information
provided by gdalinfo with respect to the datum is unknown, so I am not
sure if a projection is required etc.

Can anyone suggest the portions of the mapfile which would allow this
raster to load? I have included most of gdalinfo details below, TIA:
