Oddly enough when we came back to the UK I ,out of habit asked ,for a flat white and only one place knew exactly what I wanted the rest it's Que lol

 

We don't drink much of it and have only ordered once since being back - at a little café in the village we were staying and they knew it straight away. It riles my wife as she is Peruvian and that is how the Peruvians have always drank their coffee - a very long time before Australia or anywhere else.

I never drank it in Australia but just to be perverse I have started here, mainly because the coffee sucks in most of the chains here and at least you can taste it in a flat white - I've not found anywhere that doesn't do them even if it;s not on the menu.

You never stop learning. I was fascinated to read in the UK Daily Telegraph that Australia has a very low population density because everyone just lives in one of the large coastal cities like Sydney, Perth and...Canberra....

My sister has a lot of wombats on her property and I've never heard her say wombat poo is square - but she has told me wombats always find a rock to poo on.
