All the 60's address space never officially existed before 1999 IIRC, its was like reserved space or something.
61/8 used to belong to One.tel (lol) which I think means it probably Optus Address space 210/8 is connect.com.au 211 is Optus as well I think from memory I could be wrong cause my memory is fataly flawed. :) There are a few address ranges still out there which for all intents and purposes is still reserved, i.e. Theoretically it should exist, but good luck finding it or being able to trace it or anything like that. eg, Anybody seen 70.'s 80.'s & 90.'s address space in use?
