Out of ~13000 towns, 1600 names are shared across different States. * If the town appears to be spelt correctly but does not work then check if there are any stray spaces before or after the your town names. * If your town name is not specified or not Australian, it will produce an #N/A not available error. Some other problems to be aware of:
* If the town is not spelt correctly, then it will not find it in the reference table.

* Check for Variations - eg Albury Wodonga | Albury-Wodonga | Albury/Wodonga really should be either Albury or Wodonga but not both.

One curious 'feature' was the amount of data exported was related to the number of rows shown. The export did not default to 'all'. You’re right - thinking back - I reckon I did precisely that.

Ideally, of course it would let you auto-import that data into a Google Docs spreadsheet.....
