Most of the stress state in continental Australia is controlled by compression originating from the three main collision boundaries located in New Zealand, Indonesia and New Guinea, and the Himalaya (transmitted through the Indian and Capricorn plates). South of latitude −30°, the stress trajectories are oriented east–west to northwest ...
Shapefile (GIS) dataset of every sealed and unsealed road in the state, and has been recently created and updated (2013). Data includes road names, route numbers, and class (Highway, Arterial, etc.). The license is CC-BY-3.0-AU, so it can be used to create maps.
Shapefiles : are a data exchange format created by ESRI and one of the most widely used GIS/geodata formats. One "shapefile" usually include four different files : .shp, .shx, .dbf, .prj. First three files must all be present in order to use the data. Each shapefile can hold only one geometry type.
Its border with New South Wales south of the Murray River would be erroneously surveyed roughly 3.6 kilometres (2.2 mi) west of 141° east, and the resulting disputes with the colonies and, later, states that share that border would not be fully resolved until 1914. [16] 15 June 1839 The islands of New Zealand were annexed to New South Wales.
Australia's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) was declared on 1 August 1994 and extends from 12 to 200 nautical miles (22 to 370 km) from the coastline of Australia and its external territories, except where a maritime delimitation agreement exists with another state. [1] [2] To the 12 nautical-mile boundary is Australia's territorial waters.
South Australia’s eastern border was supposed to follow the 141st meridian, but the first surveyors measured incorrectly. [2] A 70-year border dispute followed, and eventually resulted in the disjointedness of MacCabe Corner, with Victoria using the original incorrect calculation, and New South Wales using the new and correct one.

Epi Map is designed to show data from Epi Info 2000 files by relating data fields to SHAPE files containing the geographic boundaries. Shapefiles also can contain data on population or other variables, and can therefore provide numeric data that become part of the display either as numerator or denominator. [1]
[2] Although it is a public database, GADM has a higher spatial resolution than other free databases, [3] and also higher than commercial software such as ArcGIS. [4] Those sources are commonly use to complete data analysis with data visualisation such as data plots , choropleth map , etc. [ 5 ] [ 6 ]
