Thurlow - its a dessertspoon, which in turn is half a tablespoon. In Australia, in order to avoid confusion between the various countries, and in particular to help accurately measure childrens' medicines, a measuring teaspoon was standardised at 5mls.

I've found a lovely recipe for strawberry tarts, but the pastry recipe contains a measurement with which I'm unfamilar, unless it's a misprint on the website.
