Can you work out what these co-ordinate are ?

I have been given 2 coordinates (well I have been told they are) and I cannot work out what format they are in. Interestingly they are rather long so it should be easy for a expert to work this one out ?

The coordinates are

-2423015768
639065430

Should be a location in/ near Australia.

So anyone able to man up to it ?

If they are in Australia, then they are probably for one of the UTM zones that crosses Australia, or using an Australia-specific coordinate system. Most countries have at least one coordinate system of their own created by their nationally mapping agency or equivalent.

Number looks to large for UTM. UTM will not exceed 10,000,000

Correct me if I am wrong.

Try the independent MapInfo-L e-mail list/group. It's hosted by Google now. You can find it. From experience I know there are a lot of geo-scientists/experts on there!
