Yes, that's excellent!
Then we get reminded that Subway still calls their sandwiches "6-inches"!
I assume Aussies treat that as an opaque label (in much the same way that customers at Starbucks think of "tall", "grande", and "vente" when referring to cup sizes) rather than understanding the actual measured length in Imperial units, but I still am chagrined to see that they haven't come up with something else. (At least at MacDonalds in France I believe the "Quarter Pounder" became "Le Royal" or something like that!)

You may be interested in looking at this Australian Subway (TM) Napkin, which also provides the energy value in kJ.
