1. Click on Export Data (highlighted above)

1. Do you want to select which layers to export? You can select Yes and choose from the layers provided OR you can select No Thanks. I want to export data from all layers. This will download all data sets. In the example below RoadNameExtent is selected.

1. Click Next >

2. Do you want to specify an extent? Select No or Yes, by drawing the extent on a map. If you select ‘No’ all the data will be extracted. If you wanted to specify an extent of data extraction, e.g. around Sydney in the screenshot below, use the square icon labelled ‘Draw a rectangle’. This will draw a square centred on the point where you clicked on the map. You can change the shape from the icon labelled ‘Reshape’ to get the required area of extraction.
