Case of the blankety blanks

I've managed to get CGIMapServer up and running, and I'm able to
embed a label and scale.  The problem I'm having is getting either
one of 2 shapefiles to be displayed - they come up blank ;-(

What I'm seeing, along with the shapefiles and debugging info is
up at:

http://202.4.251.202/cgi-bin/mapserv?map=maps%2FAustralia2.map&imgext=-4052773.126174+6525496.338892+-4048707.504070+6529560.938500&imgxy=149.5+199.5&program=%2Fcgi-bin%2Fmapserv&img.x=335&img.y=321

or:

I'm trying to show 4 layers:
- a label (working)
- a scale (working)
- Australia2 shapefile (not working)
- Trenches shapefile (not working)

I suspect that I don't know enough about the types of projections.

Can anyone help ?


The shapefile Australia2 is supposed to be a Asia Lambert Conformal
Conic projection.  The shapfile Trenches is supposed to be a GDA
1994 South Australia Lambert projection.

The map file contains:

Any help would be most appreciated ;-)
