In an attempt to get a VK_CTY.DAT file created
for WriteLog, I've put together the following
for starter coordinates:

VK1 ACT (Canberra)   S 35.33096  E 149.12870
VK2 NSW (Sydney)     S 33.86737  E 151.20665
VK3 VIC (Melbourne)  S 37.81478  E 144.95909
VK4 QLD (Brisbane)   S 27.47115  E 153.02589
VK5 SA (Adelaide)    S 34.93116  E 138.59074
VK6 WA (Perth)       S 31.95459  E 115.86506
VK7 TAS (Hobart)     S 42.88432  E 147.30876
VK8 NT (Darwin)      S 12.45665  E 130.84511

Of course, VK9 is for Australian External Territories,
and VK0 is for Antarctica.

I've just used coordinates for the cities in each
call area as noted.  If someone feels a better 
choice would make sense, please drop a reply 
to the list!

Lastly, does anyone have a pointer to how the
Australian Communications Authority would
assign other special previxes?  This is the
only link I could find:
http://www.aca.gov.au/aca_home/publications/reports/info/regs.htm

(which notes VK, VI and AX)
