This is a complete coverage of processed satellite data available over the Australian landmass. It was derived from ACRES Landsat 7 Y2K Mosaic data produced by the Australian Greenhouse Office in 2000 as part of the National Carbon Accounting System. The imagery was acquired from July 1999 to September 2000 and is composed of 369 individual satellite scenes.

The product contains two image files:

- Landsat7_247.ecw: This image combines three spectral bands (Blue, Near Infrared, and Middle Infrared) to create a pseudo-natural colour image; and

- Landsat7_123.ecw: This image combines three spectral bands (Blue, Green, and Red) to create a natural colour image.
