    • Google Earth KMZ
  • Raster Data
    • GeoTIF (Georeferenced TIFF)

In SARIG all spatial layers are delivered in geographic coordinates (latitude and longitude) based on the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94). GDA94 is the current Australian standard based on the International terrestrial Reference Frame 1992 (ITRF92) and is compatible with the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). Specifications for GDA94 can be found on the Geoscience Australia website.
