[R-SIG-Finance] downloading prices for Australian 90 day bank bills and 3 and 10, year bonds

[Patrick Caldon]

Australian 90-Day Bank Bill prices are licensed by AFMA who started
charging fees on them as of about a year ago.  I don't think the
historical data is freely available anywhere now.

I have been trying to download these prices from Yahoo (of course they
may not keep them - does anyone know?) using all sorts of combinations
like IR.AX or IR.SFE or XTF or XTSYZ0.AX.  None of them work.

Can anyone point me to where I can find the correct symbols?
