Talk:Toorak, Victoria

Is 3142 really as well known and prestigious as 90210? I know what the US code stands for, even though never having been there, and I'd bet almost everyone does; but I've never heard 3142 used as a sign of prestige in Melbourne, and I've lived here all my life! The word 'Toorak' itself is prestigious though, definately. TPK 22:19, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I've never heard 3142 used either but then I've only lived in Melbourne for 20 years. Geoff/Gsl 22:29, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- According to an Insight Guide to either Australia, Victoria, or Melbourne, there were cases of people in other parts of Melbourne putting their post code as 3142, thereby causing annoyance to Australia Post. I don't think the article was suggesting that 3142 was as well known as 90210, which everyone knows through the US TV show. Some people thought it was a phone number. Quiensabe 00:56, 31 Dec 2004
- I've never heared it. It is certainly not "prestigious". Some people (ie: Me!) don't even like Toorak! I removed that claim the other day. Somebody in the WWW 05:52, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC)
