Local Government Areas

Can anyone find me a list of Local Government Areas in Australia?

The best I can find is the mystery Appendix F.

While that's a good start, and annual reports from there on in only include changes, I can't seem to find a list of postcodes / suburbs those local government areas contain.

Items stolen from us...

My house was broken into last Tuesday. While we were all home, the lights were on, and people were active.
They forced a window, between 1:00am and 1:30am, and stole the following:

Acer Extensa 2304 LC
  • Serial: 50900982
  • Ubuntu studio installed
Acer Aspire 4064WLMI
  • Serial: LXTAK0605650102997EM00
  • Windows XP
Dell Inspiron 1300
  • Serial: 7CTYH1S
  • Windows XP
  • Dead battery
Pentax OptioS7:
  • Serial: 2108314
  • 7.0 megapixel
Nokia 2626
  • Serial: 35393501753521

Right now, we're:
  • Having ebay email us for any matches to these items
  • Submitting the police report
  • Submitting copies of the police report to every little pawn shop in a 50km radius

No, we didn't have insurance. Yes, we've fixed the windows - there are now pretty huge screws sunk into the window frame/sill that make it nearly impossible to open them.

If you haven't done it;
  • Get some kind of anti theft software, so when it's gone, you know where to look. Make sure it runs as a service, before you login.
  • Get the serial numbers of all of your important stuff, and write them down.
  • Get a cable lock too
