What does Australia use to measure height?

Okay, so you're wondering how they measure height in Australia, huh? Well, officially, they use centimetres (cm). Yep, those little metric units! I remember being so confused when I first went there and someone asked my height – I instinctively said it in feet and inches, and got a bit of a blank stare. It's centimeters, mate!

I mean, sure, you might hear people casually throwing around "feet" and "inches" sometimes, especially older folks, you know? It's like how my grandma still measures ingredients with cups and spoons even though I bought her a fancy scale, haha! But when it comes down to official stuff – like your medical records, or those charts the doctor uses to track a kid's growth – it's all in centimetres. Makes sense, right? Keeps everything nice and uniform. So, yeah, centimetres are the official way to go Down Under!
