Hey Guys,

I am only knowledgable on the basics of macros so I have no clue on how to
interact with the web.

Basically what I require is thus:

I have a file of postcodes in Australia which i obtained through:

http://www1.auspost.com.au/postcodes/index.asp?sub=2

i downloaded the second option, the postcode booklet database

now i need a macro to go through this file and find every different
city/suburb/town mentioned then for each one mentioned, send it and the
corresponding state/territory (so as to cater for same place names in
different states) to the following website:

http://www.ga.gov.au/map/names/

obviously the name will go into the "place name" the place type will always
be "towns and localities" and the state will correspond with the state in
the spreadsheet, although the state part on query is not important.. only on
the results found.

after the data is put into the page, the site will return results

I would like the macro to find the matches and copy them into an excel
sheet.. all official results under the "status" field, that is.

Why I need this is so I can create a complete list of all latitude and
longitude coordinates for every location in Australia so then I can
calculate distances between places.

Is anybody able to help inform me as to how best go about this, or is there
a macro out there that i can slightly modify or tell what I want it to do
and will do it?

If anybody can help, it would very very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
