Hi Franc,
I've just noticed that the ABS boundary going straight up Wagonga Inlet (at
Narooma) doesn't have a relation associated with it.
The boundaries of Bungendore and Tarago look pretty good although there may
be a bit of a gap bwtween them.
The ones done in ACT so far look spot on
PS
This is a very big suburb but it appears that it may not have completed
correctly since the bit just North of Tuross Heads has all the nodes in
