I meant to reply a while back but was sidetracked. I have looked into using data from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology in the past and have decided not to due to some (seemingly) fairly tight copyright controls/conditions on their publicly accessible products. Refer to their copyright page <http://www.bom.gov.au/other/copyright.shtml>. The BoM's default terms of use permit personal use but do not permit distribution. They do have provision for Creative Commons and Public Access Licenced data but I am yet to find too much data of interest that includes the CC or PAL. I am no copyright lawyer nor have I contacted BoM but given the apparent restrictions on their products I have steered clear of their use on my site.
