Australian Suburbs vs Geonames

[Daniel O'Connor]

Hey all,
So we've got the Australia post database loaded into our work application (and a lot of hand edited extra ones), and we've matched up a few geonames to suburbs - roughly (6133 matches vs 26260 missing).

Would anyone be interested in a list of these being published?

We've also got the ability to geocode said suburbs via google maps' api, en-masse, and (if the licencing lets us, I'd need to check) contribute those back.

Obviously, we'd need to add a bit of a human element to this, because we've got a few like 'ALBATROSS RAN AIRFORCE STATION'; but... is there any interest in this?

Hi Daniel

Sure, this would be an interesting contribution. I fear google maps does
not allow for any other useage than for google maps, so this is no option.

Best

Marc
