PDF download about Australian Recommended Dietry Intakes found on this page http://www.nhmrc.gov.au/publications/synopses/n6syn.htm This article also provides RDI's for other age groups and for pregnant and lactating women. Unfortunately this article only covers some RDI but omits things like carbohydrates, fibre and omega 3, 6 and 9.

http://www.healthyeatingclub.com/info/articles/nutrients/rdi2006.htm This site provides a more complete list of RDI's though there seems to be a few errors in the typing where g and mg are mixed up, so it is hard to know which measurement is correct in those cases. This site was useful because it gave alternative names for some dietry items such as “Riboflaven” being the same as “Vitamin B2”.

:) yeh i was frustrated that i couldn't find everything in the one place, so i was determined to make this table to put on my fridge. it's by no means perfect or complete, but it's still a good start! i wonder whether it would be suitable for the wikipedia "vegan" article. i might put it into wikipedia table format one day.
