Geographic bounding box:
The bounding box encloses the maximum extents of the dataset. There may be voids or gaps within the bounding box, depending on the defined coverage of the dataset. Outer bounding rectangle as Latitude/Longitude coordinates based on the WGS84 datum (expressed as both Degrees Minutes Seconds and as decimal Degrees):
- North bounding latitude: 28 00 00.0 S (-28)
- South bounding latitude: 37 30 00.0 S (-37.5)
- East bounding longitude: 154 00 00.0 E (154)
- West bounding longitude: 141 00 00.0 E (141)
Lineage:
Information transfered to database from card index compiled during field completion of New South Wales Topographic Mapping programmes.

Geographic location is accurate to approximately one minute of latitude and logitude.
Attribute accuracy:
Some attribute data has been validated against alternate administrative records.
Logical consistency:
NA
Completeness:
99% of named features depicted on the NSW topographic map series are included in the data set.
