This is very common in NSW.

The GIS sql files to set up your database are now located in the postgres84 share directory, and there has been one name change from lwpostgis.sql to postgis.sql. So, for the example above use: psql -f /opt/local/share/postgresql84/contrib/postgis.sql -d australia psql -f /opt/local/share/postgresql84/contrib/spatial_ref_sys.sql -d australia Many thanks to Mark!
