Logistics infrastructure profile

Australia — Logistics Infrastructure

Australia's logistics infrastructure profile brings together its road and rail network scale, container and air-freight throughput, railway and metro stations, logistics facilities and maritime territory — each figure from a named public source.

Network and freight scale come from the World Bank and the GRIP4 global road inventory; railway and metro stations from GeoNames; warehouses, container and customs facilities from OpenStreetMap; maritime territory from Marine Regions; and the trans-European core network from the EU TEN-T.
