Or (as Lindsay suggested below), FTP seems a better bet (use <CFFTP>): ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/fwo/IDA00001.dat
For instance has today's weather for many cities around NSW. Have a browse of the ftp://ftp.bom.gov.au/anon/gen/fwo directory, and you'll quickly find what you're looking for. It's all in nice machine-readable format. With a loc_id and all.
Just make the call, CF will put the result in a query object and you just have to copy the relevant parts of the string out and display how you want.

this is purely educational...... how could i get the info out of bom and into the intranet in a form to what they watch on tv....
Rob.
if this is successful i would like to look at streaming all sort of resources from all round the world to expose students to how much information is really out there.

You could try (I'm not entirely sure of the legalities), but the BOM provides this information on their website (www.bom.gov.au).......
I wonder if screen-scraping would be an option? (again, the legalities are beyond me).

Rob,
Where are you getting the weather feed from? I've been looking for a cheap or free way to get the weather for cities or at least brisbane,in Australia for a cycling club that like to know what the weather is doing. Do you know of a feed for weather in Australia?
Sorry I dont have a rss reader tho.
Gareth.

Any one created a cool rss reader?? How would i be able to feed in the weather from broken hill or should i just predict it being hot and 40 degrees . This would be a really good feature for the kids to compare it to sydney weather before they go head off in a couple of weeks
Rob.
