Lastest Imagery URLs for WMTS

Australia Latest

Our Australia latest layer is a very clever, virtual compilation dataset based on time currency. It is built to maximise performance whilst drawing on data nationally from different sites across many different zoom levels – or scales. It is available with both our WMS and WMTS, the example provided below are for the WMTS:
