Does anyone know the exact latitude of the SA/Vic border?
I've only seen rough estimates of 3.6km west of 141 degrees east.

Yep, read up on all that, but I'm trying to figure out the exact longitude
it was set at by the privy council ruling.
All the state borders that are set to exact lat/longs are all screwy and
I'm trying to fix it to be as accuracte as humanly possible.

Can you tell me where the swamp is on the map? It doesn't look like anyone
has plotted it yet.

Pity it would have

I've merged the 2 administrative boundaries into 1 and aligned them both to
be 140.9640 degrees east, which is the best I can do based on the
information you provided and I found on the net.
I assume the border is supposed to be a straight line, but
I noticed a bunch of maritime boundaries at 12nm, however most countries have
made a land grab and extended their maritime borders to 200nm.
I suppose this is more of a general question since it would effect almost all
non-landlocked countries.
Are the 12nm boundaries even relevant/valid any

Roughly judging from the aerial image the border would be closer to 140.9698

I know from previous correspondence on issues they always tell me to put it in

Lets just think about the end goals of getting MPs involved: adding more data
to the map.
Now basically there seems to be 2 threads of argument about how best to do
this: 1) Through mass import of external datasets and 2) through contributions
by users.
Method 1) is often required for things
And the problem with importing things like roads from government databases is
that they are the gazetted road position not the actual on ground road
position. That's why google maps etc are so often incorrect.
Thats why some of the ABS data does not line up with the actual plotted road.
