Updating polygon data for Australia. We have been asked quite a few times about it, but haven't found the data. OSM is far from complete. Vogelbird sent me an email today saying he found links in the QA forum. From there I managed to extract the data needed. Been taking the whole day though. Had some issues to solve on the way.
The old data is from 2011. The new region data will be from 2016 and the new county data from 2017. I can with my eye detect any difference for the regions. The counties have quite a few changes though. A list from our compare-tool has been created.
