The IP range is 203.8.12.0 if you want to check it out.
That makes sense though.

It's not the DB that's too specific - your IP is "owned" by your ISP in that suburb and that's what it shows - and the net end result would add up to more clicks by people in your area because of the familiarity with that suburb.

would it get MORE clicks if it showed your exact city? propably so, but there's nothing we can do to get more accurate in your case ... because based on the Db it's 100% accurate.
