Free download: All Australian postcodes geocoded ready for data mash-up visualisation

As the analyst geeks among you probably know from experience, geocoding address data is pretty easy but sometimes it can take a while especially if you have a lot of addresses to process and clean.

To save time we have downloaded the latest postcode file from the Australian Post website and geocoded it for you. Using the below file you can now at least visualise data on a postcode level, not ideal but at least something.

Using Google Maps & Real Estate to identify affluent suburbs

If you're a stingy marketer or don't have the biggest budget you can now use Google Real Estate instead of Mosaic to identify affluent suburbs by searching for listing below $500,000 and above $1,000,000.
