## Versions

publicdata.au keeps a new version each time the publisher changes the source file, and lists them all at https://publicdata.au/d/sa-registered-vehicles-by-postcode/versions.json. This repository tags each version it holds as `v<date>`, so `load_dataset("National-Digital/sa-registered-vehicles-by-postcode", revision="v2026-07-09")` always returns these rows.

## Query it without downloading
