Recipes say half a cup - anyone know the equivalent in metric?

I have some lovely recipes from Australia but the measurements are in cup sizes (and I don't mean bra sizes!). I've tried using a standard tea cup but can anyone tell me the ounces or metric equilalent please.

Here's an idea, Cherry...try ONE recipe using (a) an ordinary cup as I mentioned earlier and, on another occasion, (b) one of the rather-more-expensive calibrated cups and see whether you can tell even the slightest difference in taste. I confidently predict that you won't. Cheers, ma'am.

This Australian site has cup conversions at the bottom of the page.
