And suburbs (at least in Sydney, where I lived for over half my life)
roughly match up with postcodes. For example, the 2034 code covers Coogee,
2035 Maroubra and so on. However, suburb boundaries are fuzzy, whereas
postcode boundaries are well-defined; whatsmore while different people
might give different names to the same place, the four-digit postcode is
unarguable.

So in Australia, postcodes might work well as a standardised sub-state
geographic division. In other countries, it's less useful.
