      The data was originally collected by the Australian Geological Survey Organisation (AGSO, now Geoscience Australia (GA)) and individual information sheets for each site can be found on the Geophysical Archive Data Delivery System (GADDS). Details of the sites can also be found in RB2012/00005 and RB2001/00014. The sites were visited and GPS coordinates updated over 2009 to 2012.
      Positional accuracy:New data were located using handheld GPS. Handheld GPS units are accurate to tens of metres.
      Attribute accuracy:Not Known
      Logical consistency:A GIS package (ArcMap) has been used to check for any flaws in the spatial data.
      Completeness:This is a subset of a larger data compilation
