[talk-au] post code boundaries

[Franc Carter]

I had made the assumption based on a small(ish) sample of postcodes in major
cities
that for the ABS data set, that the boundaries between adjacent postcodes
were
coincident with boundaries between suburns (sorry for the mouthful).

I noted several suburbs that consisted of disjoint areas, so I would assume
that postcodes
could be the same (I'd even expect this to be more common).

Have you found cases where the postcode boundaries don't lie on top of the
suburb
boundaries ? (which would make the problem even uglier)

cheers
