				<title>Incorrect latitudes and longitudes create errors on Australia's zip codes lookup</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ Hi!,

Thank you so much for providing this great service for free. 

We use your service to allow our users to search for friends within a certain distance using their post code. We have noticed that the latitudes and longitudes for many of the Australia's database are incorrect.

For example:

ZIP code 2015 with countrycode "AU", returns:

<span class="genmed"><b>Code:</b></span><br>
		<div style="overflow: auto; width: 100%;">
		<pre>
&lt;lat&gt;-33.8333333&lt;/lat&gt;
&lt;lng&gt;149.75&lt;/lng&gt;
</pre>
		</div>
ZIP Code 2018 with country code "AU", returns:

<span class="genmed"><b>Code:</b></span><br>
		<div style="overflow: auto; width: 100%;">
		<pre>
&lt;lat&gt;-33.917&lt;/lat&gt;
&lt;lng&gt;151.2&lt;/lng&gt;
</pre>
		</div>
This 2 suburbs are next to each other, however, it is over 130km on Google map.

Have you come across this errors before?

Best regards,
John]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Hi John

A couple of Data updates for Australia are still in the pipeline :
http://forum.geonames.org/gforum/posts/list/603.page#2782

Some Australian states have offered their data including postal codes and this data is waiting to be integrated. The more people interested in this update help with their own contributions (work) or donatations the faster it will happen.

Regards
