[postgis-users] How does PostGIS treat "garbage" lat/long coords?

One of my users has been entering garbage lat/long coordinates for geometries 
(SRID 4283). eg POINT(140.6365441 -304.409527) instead of 
POINT(140.6365441 -34.409527)

PostGIS does not object to this but I cannot see what the value is interpreted 
to mean.
Is there a simple way to test for such entries?

Cheers and thanks,
Stephen Davies
