Australian Domestic Containers
Just like America, Australia also has its own domestic containers. Most are based on standard ISO containers, but the Aussies also have 45', 48' and 53' domestic containers too - usually in "palletwide" (2.46m or 2.50m) widths. Many are "extra high cubes" with a 3.0m outside height.
