Where are you finding the page that uses SVG? All the map URIs on that
page seem to point to maps that use Microsoft Silverlight...

For example:

http://www.actmapi.act.gov.au/SilverlightViewer_1_2/Viewer.html?Viewer=ACTMAPI_Online_Maps
http://www.actmapi.act.gov.au/SilverlightViewer_1_2/Viewer.html?Viewer=Aerial_Photography
http://www.actmapi.act.gov.au/SilverlightViewer_1_2/Viewer.html?Viewer=Territory_Plan

Which ACT Government numpty thought Silverlight would be a good, open
standards based idea?
