There are all sorts of ways for chopping up the nation, states, LGAs, IBRA and 
IMCRA regions CMAs and so forth.
Can we have a region for Australia.

I know this is a sensitive problem (Ask Lee: "Where is Australia?), but maybe 
it might be good to have a section for Australia
For example:
Continental Australia
Australia including Antarctica
Australia with EEZ
... and so on.

cc-ing Lee on this as he's been looking into the uber Australia layer.

i think the request makes sense.

Case was put to Geoscience Australia 2 months ago. They have agreed that we are 
not the only agency needing an Australian Region definition. Emailed about 2 
weeks ago, and it is progressing. I have to wonder why GA didn't have such a 
layer on tap.

All said, these data will be dynamic. International positioning continues in 
relation to remote territories.

I think there could be a lot of Australias, or at least a lot of views of 
Australia. Your choice of view of Australia will depend on what you want to 
present. 

Currently, the Regions part of ALA very quickly presents summary information 
for a pre-defined space. eg Falcons in New South Wales, fish species in 
Riverina. However a state is the biggest region so far available. "Regions" is 
currently not set up to deliver anything for the nation, or the continent, or 
even the sum of the states and territories.

Just noting this has been on the issue tracker for a year with no resolution. I 
doubt we'll ever get something from GA. Can we define this ourselves ?

Good idea.

Just emailed Mark Alcock if the prposed GA web services for coastal/maritime 
boundaries have been implemented. Fingers crossed.

I fully agree! Just sent off to Mark Alcock (GA)

Hi Mark, We are even more desperate than April for these web services. Has 
there been any advances? Are requirements are (from our perspective) simple: 
Can we supply a latitude and longitude in decimal degrees and get back a list 
of what Australian zone/s if any this point is in?
