Hi, Given Nick's comments (assuming I've understood them correctly), lets start this approach with the ACT, and Nick can apply his tweaks post-import.
Last time I looked parts of the Murray River border NSW/Vic were missing, and we should probably reconstruct these from the river itself, seeing that (the southern bank) is the border defined. What other non-straight parts are we missing? Ian.
