Beginner Civil Design Resources (Australia/Tasmania Specific)

I had the chance to visit and give a talk at Central Australian College (CAC) in Hobart last November about the civil design and engineering industry. I put together this list of resources that I can’t live without, that I wish somebody showed me when I was trying to learn civil design ‘from the outside’. I’m hoping the SEO gods smile upon me and show this to someone who needs it:
