I think the inclusion of the postcodes in the tags is a little clunky,
and not very intuitive.
I've had no direct involvement with the makeover, but I happen to know
the reasoning behind the postcodes. There are a number of different
towns and cities with the same name all over Australia.
"Springfield" for instance -- two in NSW, two in Victoria, two in
Queensland and one each in SA, WA and Tasmania.
I tried my Postcode of 6036 - not recognised, I then tried 4 others in
surrounding Northern Suburbs, all of them were resolved to be "Perth" even
though I am a good 40 minutes from CBD.
Needs improvement in that area, maybe its not finished.

The Aus Post site has an up to date list of postcodes->suburbs that
includes all codes and the suburb as the post office sees it.

I'm sure this is what the ABC would have used but for anyone else, its a
great resource. Pity it doesn't have Geo co-ords. :(
