I'm not sure that will always be true considering the numbering system in Australia. For example, I'm on the Strathpine exchange in Brisbane and have an exchange prefix of 3889. My brother-in-law across the road has the older prefix of 3204. My mother lives 20-25 minutes away in Wavell Heights... on the Nundah exchange... and has a prefix of 3266 (closer numerically than my brother-in-law across the road). As I understand it this is becoming more and more common as older ranges fill and new prefixes have to be allocated.
