Sample datasets for MCAS-S

For users requiring more comprehensive spatial datasets for Australia the Natural Resources Mapping Toolkit comes supplied with map layers including climate, soil, vegetation, social and economic information ready to view and analyse in MCAS-S.

New or updated data layers will be available from the Updates page as they become available.
