## Versions

publicdata.au keeps a new version each time the publisher changes the source file, and lists them all at https://publicdata.au/d/vic-median-unit-prices-by-suburb/versions.json. This repository tags each version it holds as `v<date>`, so `load_dataset("National-Digital/vic-median-unit-prices-by-suburb", revision="v2026-09-29")` always returns these rows.

## Query it without downloading
