I believe I have heard 27616 once.

I can also verify that 28000 & 28944 are active.

oh - nice link!

I do believe 343/Katoomba makes the rescue pump list

Goulburn is the location of "police school". I tend to think Ch X is heavily involved with police training, as most the officers lack protocol - not just dispatch.
