Special thanks to Jon Gill, BoM, for his help and co-operation.
There may be errors in the list, such as incorrect Latitude or Longitude coordinates, names inadvertantly ommitted, or incorrect places used instead of other places of the same name intended by the BoM. Whilst many of the location coordinates were found in the Australian Geographic Place Names (Gazetteer) database, and the Willis Island and Giles Meteorological Station coordinates were found in the GEMPAK Weather Station tables database, so these should be accurate, others were found in the index of an old Atlas and some were calculated from measurements made with a ruler on maps.
I apologise in advance for any of the errors that may emerge, and will correct them when better information becomes available, so if you know of any corrections to be made, please do not hesitate to inform me.
