Of those still blank :

11. Fiveways
13. Weatherboard

17. Woodstock.

Only 14 & 18 to go...

Our customers are from all over the state (plus southern NSW & most of SA), so it'll give me something to think about at work - if I can remember the clues!

What do you mean?

 

[evade28]

hehe if youre pedantic enuff to look up the postcodes to make sure no one is BSing i think is what red+black means!

 

[Mobbs]

I still don't get it. How can they be BSing?

 

[red+black]

just meaning that i haven't heard of a lot of these places, so i thought i could confirm some of them with the postcode. anyway, i'm sure they all exist.

 

[Mobbs]

Ahh yeah now I understand.

Well due to manic hobbies of mine, I know of most places in Victoria.

Where I haven't heard of the answer given. I looked them up in the Country Roads Directory. So I can vouch that they all exist!

 

[evade28]

[evade28]
