It's also worth noting those locations are the HQ elements. Reserve units as a whole are usually spread over areas hundreds of miles across with companies, even individual platoons located in separate towns.

Thanks I missed that. The HQ's and most of the elements of the reserve brigades seem to be located within the suburbs, or near, major Australian cities. Tried to look for more geographical spatiality but everything seems to becoming more centralised, particularly in the populous South-East and in Western Australia. Maybe someone has other sources. Would make sense for mobilisation purposes to have forces closer together.
So what we have hear is the basis of three divisions organisationally on full mobilisation in 2016; one infantry and two reserve light infantry divisions, although the light infantry divisions would be more or less truly light infantry.
