It's a sparsely-populated country. We actually only use 4. 02 for NSW and the ACT, 03 for Victoria and Tasmania, 07 for Queensland, and 08 for SA, WA, and the NT.
There are then a further 2 digits (or 1 digit for the most populous areas) used for more fine-grained regions, like 073 for Brisbane and 0747 for Townsville. But at least when I was young, those digits would be part of the phone number you would memorise and type, even for other people in the same subregion. I'm not sure if they were compulsory or not. So my phone number as a child was 3XXX XXXX. If I had been on NSW trying to reach that, it wouldn't have worked, and I'd have needed to know that it's 07 3XXX XXXX. And internationally it would be 617 3XXX XXXX.
that is so fascinating. i'll freely admit that i've never had the need or the opportunity to travel abroad, nor to call another country, so this is all completely novel info to me. thanks for sharing.
