Does anyone know why this particular point returns no result, I was expecting it to be found in AU:

http://ws.geonames.org/countrycode?lat=-37.933&lng=145.009&type=xml

This works:

I found an explanation here:

My point is a few streets from a beach. It appears the polygon boundary for country AU is not accurate, and my point was not deemed to be within the boundary.
