I found this curious. I did a search on WA furniture shops and can see that lounge is used much less often than over here in NSW (though a crowd called "Minkz" seems to be trying to change that). Not too many couches in the shops, but found a few more than here. Also noticed a lot of "2 seater" and "3 seater" furniture titles that avoid saying whether they're a sofa or a couch or whatever.
