Do you have any source for that last paragraph? Seems crazy


Actually, there are a few. For example, QLD 4352. It's just a collective postcode that covers everything around Toowoomba that hasn't been given a postcode. Using the suburb name instead of 4352 is a whole lot more productive.

It's eight non-contiguous areas as far north as Caboolture and as far south as Casino, the biggest of which are not much larger than Brisbane City Council.

Edit:

There's a treasure trove in the post code boundaries of utterly bizarre things that only past houses being in weird places can at times explain.

No source besides my discussions with techs in Australia Post, sorry.
