It's the same people, but contains much more than the Atlas that Paul gives the download link for above.
"An atlas of fly anatomy, equipped with zoom facility for close viewing of diagnostic features of flies
An Introduction providing an overview of biology, classification, collection, preservation, examination and curation, and economic importance of flies
A simple interactive key to five higher level categories of flies
Five keys enabling family level identification of all Australian flies
An image gallery of insect pests
Family descriptions, along with details on biology and distribution, and hundreds of images of living flies
Literature references for each family, and hyperlinked references for introductory sections
More than 500 photographs and drawings
A comprehensive glossary of technical terms accessible by hyperlinks
This lavishly illustrated set of keys to families and higher levels, and the accompanying atlas of fly morphology and guides to collection, preservation and study of fly anatomy is an extraordinary resource for identification and study ? and for sheer interest. It is an invaluable tool not only for amateur and professional entomologists, but also for biology students and their teachers, conservation and land managers, environmental consultants and, indeed, anyone interested in the diversity, beauty and curiosities of the natural world."
Andre - the fun bit is that you get to click buttons :D It's whizzy and colourful !
It's also not terribly expensive, being as how the AUD is worth about 2 flat rocks and a tonka bean at the moment (again!)
