Try the ABS - the Australian Bureau of Statistics. They'll be happy to sell you
a heap of stuff from the 91 and earlier Censuses. And they have it in a form
suitable for use by various mapping packages - they can provide the data in
DXF, ASCII, SAS formats, and in formats to suit MapInfo, ATLAS*GIS and Genamap.
It is also available on CD. Contact your local ABS office and ask them. Ask for
the Marketing Section. Some of these ABS products are described in their latest
"New and Recent Releases" publication released this month.
A number you could call is the ABS Bookshop on (06) 252 5249
