    Where do you get GIS information from?

    Many places, but there is a website in Australia you can get heaps of different maps from. It is: http://www.ga.gov.au/data-pubs/web-services/ga-web-services

    For our example we have used a Transmission Lines overlay that is located here. The layer we have used is called "National Electricity Transmission Lines"
