Geoscience Australia Interactive Maps

Geoscience Australia's Interactive Maps is a discovery and exploration view of Geoscience Australia's geospatial data products and web services. It provides access to the wealth of curated information content organised into science disciplines and decision support themes, easy to navigate and linked to related information. Data is portrayed as dynamic maps, links to metadata, map printing and access to OGC (Open Geospatial Consortium) web services. Some maps have additional tools providing specific functionality.

Place Names Search

The Place Names Search is a searchable, map-like view of the most current composite Gazetteer of Australia data product, providing authoritative information on the location and spelling of approved place names throughout Australia and its External Territories. The Gazetteer of Australia is a compiled subset of information sets held by the relevant State, Territory and Commonwealth authorities.

Aerial Photography - Flight Line Diagrams

Aerial photography is recorded on flight line diagrams, which show aircraft paths (also known as runs), the centre of the photos in relation to ground features, and film reference numbers. The Aerial Photography - Flight Line Diagrams is spatial index to scans of flight line diagrams, referenced to the index of 1:250K topographic map sheets and basic metadata such as dates of acquisition. The information about flight lines can then be used to reference specific items (film rolls) in the historical aerial photography archive.
