Description
I am using QGIS to project pointfiles onto a map of Australia. The map I am using is the shapefile published by Geosciences Australia (www.ga.gov.au). The points I am importing are decimal latitude/longitude points (see below signature), imported using the text importer.
What happens is that some or all of the points are imported with the latitude sign inverted (ie, from - to +), placing the points above the equator instead of below.
If I import the delimited text file with no header row, then the sign inversion happens on the first entry only. If I import the text file with a header row, then the inversion is applied to all of the latitude entries.
