[talk-au] Australia Postcodes - simple evidence of postcodes?

Hi again

I've been mapping around the West Pymble area and noticed that the 
postcode was wrong. Not only that, but the suburb was wrong as well. 
Looking around some of the streets south of Yanko Rd, they were 
associated with Macquarie Park which is the south side of Lane Cove 
River! In short, there are serious and obvious errors (for a local).

First things first, what is acceptable as an authoritative source for 
postcodes? When I say authoritative, I mean absolute, unquestionable and 
with uncontestable proof.

For example, for street names, I have pictures of the street signs which 
prove conclusively the name of the streets. Check my traces.
(The street signs do NOT have suburbs associated with them).

I can speak authoritatively about the postcode for my own address. But, 
/ignoring Auspost as a potential source/, it would seem the only way to 
identify postcodes/suburbs would be to ask each individual house.

Can anyone provide me with some guidance?

Thanks
Darren
