5 minute increments of the GDA94 latitude/longitude graticule

dataset: GRID_5M
This dataset is a simple polygon layer of rectangular cells aligned to 5 minute increments of the GDA94 latitude/longitude graticule. It is designed for use as an indexing mechanism for point record observations of flora and fauna. The layer covers an area of south-east Australia extending from 139 degrees to 151 degrees 30 minutes EAST and 33 degrees to 42 degrees SOUTH. It thus incorporates substantial areas of South Australia and New South Wales plus all of Bass Strait and the north coast of Tasmania.

Dataset Source: 5 minute increments of the GDA94 latitude/longitude graticule Dataset Originality: Derived 
Description
Each cell has a unique numeric identifier starting in the NW corner. Cells are sequentially numbered in rows (WEST to EAST) from 1 to 16200. Vertices only exist at each intersection of the latitude and longitude arcs. Unlike grid_10m there are no attributes associated with each cell except the cell id.
