Australian Federal Electorates in Flash

This is a map of the Australian Federal electoral seat of Groom. It is the area in which I was born (in Toowoomba) and grew up (Toowoomba, Goombungee and Oakey). It is part of a Flash presentation for the upcoming election in Australia showing every one of the electorates for the entire nation. It can be accessed HERE. It would be great if it was online permanently but I think it will not be the case. I will be teaching a realia course next term on Cultures of Commonwealth English and it would be nice to use.
