[Gvsig_english] HELP PLEASE - Does anyone know where I can get high resolution GIS data for use in tutorials?

Joseph,

I managed to find the cloadmade shapefiles -- these look really good.

I was not successful however in finding the SRTM data download for 
Australia. Found the reference to the dataset but no link.

Cheers Simon
