Australia post doesn't necessarily follow that, Gympie has a number of areas
inside the "town limits" but all mail is addressed as Gympie, eg South Side,
Corella, Araluen, Monkland, are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
Even Australia post has to bend to the perceptions of the locals regardless of
what's gazetted, either that or Auspost has a later version of gazetted data
than the ABS released.
