Australian Cities Database?

Question

I need an Australian cities & towns database, where can i get one. I need to be able to incorporate it into a website and it must be unsearchable e.g. find within 50 km of a postcode. Anyone out there that can help??

Thanks

Free data is available on the internet that can be downloaded. Although, maybe not quite what you are after, data can be customized to your requirements with some tinkering.

The most informative is geonames which includes coordinate details http://download.geonames.org/export/dump... And when used with Australia Post postcode data http://www1.auspost.com.au/download/pc-f... should be able to provide you with what you are looking for.
