@xssfox Another fallacy:
- A postcode can be mapped to a geographical location (see e.g. defence force personnel codes)

@whyrl Sorry, can you elaborate on this or point me to a website explaining it? I can't seem to find anything about this, but I'd like to know more :)

@scy @whyrl
I think that the postcode becomes organisational rather than geographical? So Flight Lieutenant J Smith's post will go to the air force and follow Smith's duty posting via their parent unit, rather than Smith's actual location (which might change radically at short notice and might also be classified).
(Caveat: interested amateur, not Australian.)

@scy Postcode 2890 is used for sending to Australian Defence Force personnel, who may be located on a ship overseas. auspost.com.au/sending/guideli
