quicko: post codes

AKA ZIP codes.  Generally 4 digits here.  Pretty sure NSW post codes all start with 2.  Sydney, for example, is 2000, and most areas in the vicinity are 20--.

Yes, all are 4 digits. Generally NSW codes start with '2' (Qld normally start with '4') but there are some special codes for some Large Volume Receivers (e.g. some universities, hospitals, large organisations) and PO Boxes. There's a good article on Wikipedia about them.

Interestingly enough, postcodes started in Germany during WWII.
