Tell me about it! Having worked for the post office in my youth, I can tell you that Postcode boundaries are often idiosyncratic. The boundary represents an easy way for the postie to walk, not a rational suburb boundary. In my own case, when I moved into my house 15 years ago it was in one suburb (sensible) but the council redefined the boundaries to match the Postcode causing much confusion, including with the council which sent rate notices with the old property address to the new postcode address.
