ArcGIS REST Services

To import these into QGIS:

1. Save the ArcGIS REST Services - SIX Maps.xml file to your computer.

2. Open QGIS (duh)

3. Right-click ArcGIS REST Servers In the Browser on the left (Assuming you have the default layout)

4. Choose Load Connections, and browse to the file you saved

5. Select all (or don't and pick the ones you want)

6. Click on the Import button

You can now choose any REST connection and import that as a layer to your project!

A few example servers:

Retrieve the WMS URL for the service you want to use from its REST endpoint.
e.g. Visit NSW Imagery REST Endpoint
Look for the WMS link towards the top left of the page. Right-click + copy link address or left-click the link to open the link and copy the URL from the address bar.
In QGIS, click the "Add WMS/WMTS Layer" button in the 'Layers' toolbar.
From the dialogue select the 'New' button.
Enter a name for the connection and the service's WMS URL, then click 'OK'.
Click the 'Connect' button, to fetch the details of the WMS service. Click to highlight the layer you want to add, then check the Coordinate system listen in the bottom pane.
Click the 'Change' button, and select 'EPSG:3857' from the dialog. Hit OK, then click the 'Add' button at the bottom of the 'Add Layer' dialog.
This will add it to your map. You can now close the 'Add Layer' dialog.
