  1. Hope you have cold cans from the fridge (refrigerator), unlike UK beer drinkers who drink theirs warm/ room temp, Aussies want their beer COLD. One other aspect opposite to others, Germany in particular. Aussies feel cheated if large foam cap is poured, claiming they are short changed on beer volume. Even if glasses are marked for correct liquid volume and all foam is above the mark. In Germany if beer is provided with little foam cap, the beer is claimed as stale, old stuff. In Germany 1/2 L and 1 L are basic volume, in UK 1/2 pint and 1 pint are normal ( 1 L = 2.2 pint). Australia has usually at least three sizes, but differences are between states as to name and volumes as standard. Funny names like schooner, midi, and others are used. I am not an authority as rarely drink beer especially at a bar, if at all as drink as part of a meal, say dinner. Or just a can or two like you are trying out. Another bar or dining volume is a jug, to share with several people, I think that is more like 2 L or larger. One unusual size originating in NT, is called DARWIN STUBBY, a very large glass bottle, not sure exact volume, but almost a gallon would not be a surprise ( imperial gallon not US gallon = 4.5L). Though could be smaller, I have last seen one over 15 years ago on hot conditions car testing trip. Elsewhere a "STUBBY" refers to a small glass bottle of beer that I think is around 330mL so similar to cans and half volume of a full size glass beer bottle. Also the name 'Stubby Holder' relates to these bottles, the 'cossies' as you call them, that likewise hold cans equally well as you already noted. Stibbies and cans are commonly sold in six pack form, held together by plastic strip sheet.with holes to retain the bottles/cans. Sadly often discarded becomming serious environmental hazard to animals, hooking around heads and necks, killing many animals. These six packs then often in cardboard box as 24 units, 4x 6 pack.
