Even if the individual items in the list are not copyright, the list as a whole can be. I'm pretty sure about this in Australian law. (But like I said, I don't think it matters much. Even if VicRoads complained, I'd be inclined to turn it into a GoogleDocs or something, shared just amongst us - perfectly valid for personal research.) Steve
