Use of 'bom.gov.au'	The Bureau's current networking environment makes it a challenge for the web address 'bom.gov.au' to be used. So, for now, 'www.bom.gov.au' will remain as the domain name for the Bureau of Meteorology. Opportunity will arise when there is a change to the networking environment and when this happens, 'bom.gov.au' will be implemented.
