Does anyone know of a Reverse Geocoding Locator Service that can be used for Australia?

I've tried following the Geocoding sample and performing an Address for Location call but get an Operation could mot be Performed error

The service in the example being used is this.
http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Locators/ESRI_Places_World/GeocodeServer

From what I've seen so far you can't use the Google, Bing, Yahoo.. services without using the information along with their maps.

Paul,

You should publish your own locator service.

Hi Nimesh,
     If I had the data to use I probably would if there were no alternatives, don't want to reinvent the wheel 🙂

     Esri have confirmed that they don't have a service for Australia but we can get the functionality via a third party.

Regards Paul
