4. LiquidGhoul (talk · contribs) — Newcastle and Gloucester region.
5. VirtualSteve (talk · contribs) — See here for the catalogue of images that I have uploaded to date.
6. Diliff (talk · contribs). Would like to see more SVG maps of Australia and its States. Am interested in tracing some maps from Google Earth or something along those lines, although it is pretty time consuming. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 11:29, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
7. MagpieShooter (talk · contribs). Have done a fair few maps alread, with three quarters done on Adobe Illustrator. Saving AI files as SVG isn't working for me so all of mine are in PNG format. If anyone can or wants to try to rectify the problem, contact me.
8. Mattinbgn (talk · contribs) — Riverina, northern Victoria. See commons:User:Mattinbgn for images to date.
9. Sardaka (talk · contribs). Have shots of all states of Australia. Also Gallery of Sydney Architecture

[edit] Requests

• Wynn Vale, South Australia and Golden Grove, South Australia Jasrocks ^Talk 09:04, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• A map of Sydney Harbour with Sydney's ferry routes drawn on it (and all wharves included), for the purposes of the Sydney Ferries article. Given the Parramatta River is quite long, I don't know quite how this would work, but if anyone could give it a try that would be great. (JROBBO 05:03, 20 October 2006 (UTC))

• Is there a way of making the Australian cities locator map a little clearer? Particularly in the case of Melbourne, it's difficult to see the red dot. Would a location in the state-type image for the infobox be difficult to do? Leon 00:40, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

• Bad maps need to be fixed. I just now "commented out" the location maps in several articles for national parks in NSW because the maps showed the parks out in the ocean. The geographic coordinates that I checked were OK, but maps in infoboxes for articles including Blue Mountains National Park, Thirlmere Lakes National Park, Wollemi National Park and others were seriously wrong. I quit before I finished fixing all of the parks, so you will find errors on maps for Dorrigo National Park, New England National Park, and probably many others.--orlady 00:12, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Here's the situation: In the images, the coordinates and the image display are independent. As a result, if I have image zoom (a Firefox extension) set at any value other than 100%, the red dots are in the wrong places. :-( --orlady 00:21, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

• Free image of the Stuart Oil Shale Plant is needed for oil shale-related articles.Beagel (talk) 10:44, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
