That application uses data  from historical surveys from the Royal Anthropological Society of Australasia.

The Weemala map allows you lot to browse the surveys together with letters of the Anthropological Society of Australasia Survey. Each fourth dimension you lot opened upwards a survey page or missive of the alphabet inwards Weemala whatever indigenous place-names inwards the text are too geo-located on a Leaflet map. If you lot click on whatever of the locations marked on the map you lot tin uncovering out the aboriginal place-name's important inwards English.
