"Welcome
From 1 July 2018 the PDFs of all Austroads' Guides will be freely available and most hard copies will be discontinued.
Austroads Publications Online allows you to purchase Austroads Guides and freely download more than 600 technical and research reports. You'll also find the Austroads Test Methods, Pavement Work Tips, Specifications and Technical Notes here."
which if you don't want to spend big $ to look up some obscure technical detail would look like good news
registration is free but my past experience is that the free content has been mostly research papers rather than guideline docs
All(?) Ausroads Technical guides to be free as pdfs

Interesting - so far the bicycle guides have been free & I haven't wanted to dig into the other roads docs
Anything you can do, I can do slower

Very interesting. My company spends thousands of dollars for their service. Doesn't make sense to make them free!
