How to mask data over ocean



Hi,
    I am using ferret to plot say rainfall from climate models and
frequently need to mask out data over ocean. I am using go focean 5 white
which uses etopo5 data file to mask out points laying <=0 m, however
for some strange reason this dataset has values <0m over some parts of
Arnhemland (top of plot) and also Lake Eyre comes as a large white patch.

Can anybody suggest some nifty solution to get high resolution 
land/sea mask which I can use to mask out ocean points in ferret??   

Regards,

Jozef
