[postgis-users] Projections for Australia

Dear list members,

Can anyone recommend the appropriate meter-based projection to use for
Australia?  I understand this is preferable to a lat-long projection
(such as GDA94 which is what I normally use).  WGS84 has many zones
and hence postgis complains about using different SRIDs when
calculating distance between points in multiple WGS84 zones.  Any
suggestions?

Regards,
Shane
