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

Thanks again,
