Includes country boundaries that existed in 1998 as well as 1992, administrative unit boundaries, cities, gazetteer points, including places and airports, lakes and rivers. Demographic and geographic attributes.The ArcView project world.apr displays most of the dataset, however it expects the data files to bepresent on CD in another directory structure.

The two versions of the printed Topographic Map Index are: <ul> <li>the 1:100 000 / 1:250 000 Topographic Map Index </li> <li>the 1:50 000 Topographic Map Index </li> </ul> Topographic map indexes are also available as digital data. Maps are listed by name on the back of the index. The 1:50 000 Index also lists availability of Orthophoto Map (OPM) and Topographic Line Map (TLM) for available 1:50 000 maps. Both indexes are available in printed form FREE from your nearest topographic map retailer or from the Geoscience Australia Sales Centre. You can also download PDFs of each index. <strong>Note:</strong> To print these PDFs at 100% requires an A0 printer. They are best for viewing on-screen. For new maps which may have been released after these indexes were published, please refer to the new releases page or use the Product Search tool.

The Integrated Vegetation Cover (2003), hereafter referred to as the IVC03 dataset represents vegetation cover across Australia and was compiled by integrating a number of recent vegetation-related datasets.This dataset was developed to assess and report on the type and extent of native, non-native and non-vegetated cover types across the whole landscape. This dataset has been used to describe vegetation types found in each National Action Plan and Natural Heritage Trust regions across Australia. Data are stored as a raster of 100m resolution and are projected in Albers conic equal-area coordinates.Version 1 incorporates a selection of the latest available vegetation data as at July 2003.Vegetation cover in the IVC03 dataset is described using a 12-class attribute schema that was developed to meet vegetation-related information needs of the Commonwealth Government natural resource management arena.The IVC03 dataset has 12 attribute classes:1Native forests and woodlands 2Native shrublands and heathlands 3Native grasslands and minimally modified pastures4Horticultural trees and shrubs5Perennial crops6Annual crops and highly modified pastures7Plantation (hardwood)8Plantation (softwood/mixed)9Bare10Ephemeral and Permanent Water Features11Built-up99Unknown/not reportable. Five datasets were used as inputs to create the IVC03 dataset.A national ruleset was developed to assign orders of precedence to each attribute value from each input dataset.The ruleset was used to integrate the inputs into a single vegetation cover dataset. The five input datasets were:-Agricultural Land Cover Change (ALCC95);-Forests of Australia 2003 (FOA03);-1996/97 Land Use of Australia, Version 2 (LUA97);-Land Use Mapping at the Catchment Scale (LUMCS03); and-National Vegetation Information System 2000 (NVIS00).

The data currently held for bathymetry has been extracted from the GEBCO (General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans) produced by the Natural Environment Research Council (UK).

Coverages of cities, oil and gas fields, geology, lat/long grids and for Australia and NZ, SE Asia and the Far East.

The Digital Atlas of Australian Soils (the 'Digital Atlas') is a digital version of the set of ten maps, compiled by K H Northcote et al. and published in 1960 - 68 by CSIRO and Melbourne University Press in Melbourne, known as the 'Atlas of Australian Soils, Sheets 1 to 10, with explanatory data'.

This dataset reflects the boundaries of those Indigenous Land Use Agreements (ILUA) that have entered the notification process or have been registered and placed on the Register of Indigenous Land Use Agreements (s199A, Native Title Act; Commonwealth). This is a national dataset. Aspatial attribution includes National Native Title Tribunal number, Name, Agreement Type, Proponent, Area and Registration Date. Geospatial data portraying native title information produced by the National Native Title Tribunal may not be on-sold. Value added products using this data must acknowledge the National Native Title Tribunal as the data source and include the NNTT disclaimer.

This dataset reflects the boundaries of claimant and nonclaimant native title applications that have been determined in part or in full, together with attribution about that determination. This dataset is stored nationally. The National Native Title Register (s192, Native Title Act, Commonwealth), is a register containing information about each determination of native title by the Federal or High Court or by a recognized State or Territory body. Determinations are categorized by both process and outcome. Process will be by consent, litigation or unopposed. Outcome will be that native title will have been found to exist in full or part, or been extinguished. Those determinations subject to appeal are also noted. Geospatial data portraying native title information produced by the National Native Title Tribunal may not be on-sold. Value added products using this data must acknowledge the National Native Title Tribunal as the data source and include the NNTT disclaimer.

This dataset attempts to reflect the boundaries of claimant applications for Native Title as per the Register of Native Title Claims (s185, Native Title Act; Commonwealth). This is a national dataset but data is stored by jurisdiction (State), for ease of use. Applications stored for each jurisdiction dataset include applications which overlap into adjoining jurisdictions as well as applications which overlap with these. This dataset depicts the spatial record of registered claimant applications. Aspatial attribution includes National Native Title Tribunal number, Federal Court number, application status and the names of both the NNTT Case Manager and Lead Member assigned to the application. Applicants of registered applications have the Right To Negotiate (RTN) with respect to certain types of Future Acts over the area being claimed. Whilst applications that are determined are recorded on a separate register, all registered applications remain on the Register of Native Title Claims until otherwise finalised.. Geospatial data portraying native title information produced by the National Native Title Tribunal may not be on-sold. Value added products using this data must acknowledge the National Native Title Tribunal as the data source and include the NNTT disclaimer.

This dataset reflects the external boundaries of all native title determination and compensation applications that are currently recognized and active within the Federal Court process. Applications that are non-active (i.e. withdrawn, dismissed, finalised, rejected or combined) are only included as aspatial records for completeness. This is a national dataset with data partitioned by jurisdiction (State), for ease of use. Applications stored for each jurisdiction dataset include applications which overlap into adjoining jurisdictions as well as applications which overlap with these for completeness. This dataset depicts the spatial definition of active Claimant and Non-claimant native title determination applications and compensation applications. Where possible these may include internal boundaries or areas excluded. Aspatial attribution includes National Native Title Tribunal number, Federal Court number, application status and the names of both the NNTT Case Manager and Lead Member where assigned to the application. Applications included on the Schedule of Native Title (Federal Court) include all registered and unregistered applications as well as determined applications that are yet to be finalized. Geospatial data portraying native title information produced by the National Native Title Tribunal may not be on-sold. Value added products using this data must acknowledge the National Native Title Tribunal as the data source and include the NNTT disclaimer.
