HI,
The shapefile is in an Australian projection, and your raster has been
georeferenced to *something*, but there's no telling to what
projection they
georef'd it, because there's no projection info in the raster file.
In other words: someone told the raster "you fit in this place in the
world,
between XY 1 and XY 2", but they didn't specify in what projection system
those XY's are. You would suppose to the same projection the vector is
in,
and in that case, the fit will be OK as long as the projection of the
shape
remains the same as it was when the raster was georef'd to it. But if one
changes that projection, or maybe only the Datum, as tends to happen
unexpectedly when you transfer files from one GIS to another, things will
misalign...
To make matters worse, it can also just be a case of sloppy
georeferencing...
Without knowing the rasterprojection, there's no solution, except
re-doing
the georeferencing...
