Gentlemen, It is important to note that the ABS data, if I understand correctly, is not a reflection of the geometry of the suburb or locality, but rather a merging of the mesh block geometry that approximates the suburb/locality. It will be best to use the suburb data from this department to give the exact representation. Call me if you want to discuss this further.

Can't hurt to ask the publisher/maintainer - Bill Watt, who I've just CC'd here - about the differences between this and ABS data.
