For Australian soil data viewing, there is an ARCIMS server http://www.asris.csiro.au.. You used to be able to extract the vector files from it, but it has been disabled in the last 6 months. There might be away to extract it some other way- I duno Thanks for that, I just discovered you blog, and it has been quite eyeopening..

I did find that some blog readers might only be offering the title, and not the summary. Given that, I can see the first poster's point - "Rocks and Dirt" alone doesn't really convey any useful information. I'm going to try to fix that issue .... Thanks.

I enjoy reading over your blog from time to time, as I too am always looking for good FOSS tools. I am a soil scientist at UC Davis and the title of this post caught my attention. <br/><br/>We had developed an alternative interface to the USDA-NCSS STATSGO and SSURGO data for 3 western states: CA, AZ, and NV. Although we are currently in the process of updating our imagery holdings, the website is available at:<br/>http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/node/27<br/><br/>This application allows one to explore and query the STATSGO and SSURGO databases within the context of other sources of GIS data. If you have any questions or feedback we are always interested.<br/><br/>Also, you may find our collection of FOSS tools and examples of general interest:<br/>http://casoilresource.lawr.ucdavis.edu/drupal/node/95<br/><br/>Keep up the good work!<br/><br/>Cheers,<br/><br/>Dylan Beaudette Hi Leszek.
