I'm not great at clever-auto-categorization, so nearly all the categories are redlinks based on CSIRO keywords, so any help categorizing these properly would be much appreciated.

There are some great images there thank you - but the metadata is thin, and that has in the past caused complaints from the commons community, when large numbers of images are uploaded.
For instance:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CSIRO_ScienceImage_1008_Discharging_...
is categorised as "Shipping industry in Australia" and "Pests in Australia" - the dormer is a red link, and the latter applies to the associated text, but not the image - and that text doesn't really describe the image, either.
In:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:CSIRO_ScienceImage_1038_Alcides_meta...
which is categorised as "Insects in Australia", a better category is in the file name: "Alcides metaurus".
While I'd be content to host such images on Commons pending categorisation, and to run activities crowdsourcing such categories - and while this is a useful learning exercise - others may not.
