But it seems fairly locked in that a flat white was on the menu in Sydney by 1985. 

Then also this from the above article;

"Craig Miller, who is about to release his book Coffee Houses of Wellington, 1939-79: The Pre-Espresso Period, said many laid claim to inventing the flat white but it was a "generic drink" with no clear original.

He remembered making a drink called a flat white in Auckland in the mid-1980s using a recipe from Australia. That version was a double shot black coffee with a jug of milk on the side."

Sorry, assume off-topic hand slap is coming my way, duly noted.
