I've also found this http://www.aus-emaps.com/postcode_finder.php which shows that 4735 is tiny and what Google is returning is actually 4733. This may indicate that 4735 used to be what is now 4733 and Google haven't updated their data yet. Geocoders are (a) dependent on the base data set (b) based on guesswork. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API V2" group.
