Orite has been involving in quite few projects that requires the Australian postcode database, and some even requires
Geocoding (GPS coordinates) for mapping purpose.
So we have written code to read data from the official AusPost
Postcode Datafile and use GoogleMap API to find the coordinates and save to a csv file with 5 fields consists the suburb name, state,
postcode, latitude, longtitude.
We have recently updated this database accroding to the 12 Jan 2009 datafile released by AusPost, which are available for download in
7Zip compressed file,
Australian Postcodes with Geocoding (183KB)
If you found anything incorrect in this datafile, please post to let us know.
Thanks for your geocoded postcodes. The coordinates of the following are out of range and should be corrected to:
3477,PARADISE,VIC,-36.816667,143.1
5238,WALL FLAT,SA,-34.95,139.316667
5671,MORTANA,SA,-33.016667,134.45
(Coordinates obtained from http://www.ga.gov.au/map/names/).
Also, I believe the coordinates of the Antarctic bases should be as follows:
7151,CASEY,TAS,-66.283333,110.516667
7151,DAVIS,TAS,-68.583333,77.966667
7151,MACQUARIE,TAS,-54.5,158.95
7151,MACQUARIE ISLAND,TAS,-54.5,158.95
7151,MAWSON,TAS,-67.6,62.866667
You can check the coordinates of these stations at the Antarctic web site: http://www.aad.gov.au
