The Australia Post standard customer barcode is used in mail sorting for Australia, along with several other bar code formats. It encodes an 8-digit delivery point identifier.

This sort of bar code system is regarded as "four-state" because there are four types of bars, classified by presence of ascenders and/or descenders. This sort of system is transcribable using DAFT notation.
