Notes:
  1. Entries in bold are common.
  2. Entries in italics are old-fashioned and/or rare.
  3. Entries marked with a dash are not applicable.
  4. Traditionally 425 ml is a size not found in Western Australia or Victoria.
  5. The fl oz referred to here is the imperial fluid ounce.
  6. Townsville is included as Far North Queensland differs significantly from the South.
  7. The term "beer" is ambiguous and has been left out of the table. Historically it could be a 170ml or a 285ml glass is Tas, 200ml or 285ml in FNQLD, etc. These days ordering a "beer" will get the standard glass size for the particular pub you are in, which typically could be 285ml, 425ml, 570ml, etc.
