Thanks for the suggestions on the the bad URLs.
I tracked down a replacement for the New-South-Wales-specific page.
I'd like to keep the no-longer-working URL for Heard Island since
there's no other source for that information.
So...here's what I currently have by way of differences against the data
that's now available via ftp from elsie
(note that removal of electronic mail addresses is also reflected
below).
