Non mobile numbers, a bit complicated: we do have area codes.
They are simply 2 numbers, before the main number - not always shown
Used to be three numbers ?
They used to represent localities.
Now they are for states - some states sharing the same area code - due to Australia's low population and vastness.
Growing population - extra number required.
Cities may have had 2 digit area code and country areas, were 3 digits?
Country numbers x6 digits
City, were 8 ?
Oh - bugger - I'm totally confused 😂
Something like that
You no longer need an area code if ringing from within the state, or in a state that shares the area code.
Cities and towns now have the same amount of numbers and longer.
I think a 9 at the beginning of the main number, signifies a city ????
A number, 6 digits long starting with 13 - is a national number that can be rung from anywhere, at the cost of a local call, without an area code.
1300 and 1800 numbers are usually free numbers, depending where you are calling from and if using a mobile.
All Telstra public pay telephones, are now free.

Holden Cruze - last versions were made in Adelaide - it's actually a Daewoo product with input from GM. ( GM owning Daewoo )
Last 1.4 turbo four, SR I, I think, hatch in Orange, was probably the best - sold well, good reports from motoring journalists comparing similar cars from overseas.
Very good ride/handling, steering, performance.
Basically nearly everything in the Holden range, towards the end, was a rebadged Daewoo, apart from Colorado Ute ( Isuzu ), Holden Arcadia ( Buick/GMC ), Holden Astra ( Opel ), Holden Malibu ( Chevrolet?/ Daewoo? ), Holden Equinox ( US GM? ), Holden Trailblazer ( wagon version of the Colorado Ute - Isuzu ) and of course the actual Holden Commodore range - Ute, Caprice, Sports wagon and sedan.
