Cities in Australia report as postal code #2871

Author: Rudi Heitbaum From what I can see. The issue is that the Administrative Region level is set to 8 for the Postcode. Level 10 for the Suburb. See the following way for an example: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/32289977. In Australia a correct postal address is: 12 Smith Street # ROAD New Farm # Suburb Queensland 4005 # State # Postcode Australia # Country as Per: http://auspost.com.au/personal/addressing-guidelines.html / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_%28geography%29 So by my reckoning; we should be returning : Alford Street # AS-IS New Farm # Level 10 4005 # Level 8 Queensland # AS-IS Australia # AS-IS <country_code>au</country_code> #AS-IS Hamlets/Towns should be ignored. (maybe even villages.) In this case the data is a better representation: In the above example; Thai By Night # VALID Wight Street # VALID Kensington # VALID Footscray # INVALID 3031 # Same as postcode - Assume postcode is coming from the Node City of Melbourne # VALID - This is known as a Council in Australia 3031 #VALID Victoria #VALID Australia #VALID <country_code>au</country_code> #VALID |

performing a reverse geocode look up in Australia will return the postcode in the city
