CSI - Casino
LSY - Lismore
BNA - Ballina
LXH - Lennox Head
BOY - Byron Bay

Actually, many of these codes coincide with airline codes for airports
(CBR, MEL, BNE, LSY), but some do not (Ballina airport is BNK). Note also
that some of the Countrylink codes are for towns which only have bus
service, no rail line.
