Hi Peter,
We recommend to ANZ users to use the "Unmarked disk"
Unmarked Disk "International English" Disk ANZ Usage
Station Chainage
Chainage
Profile Long Section Long
Section
Shoulder Verge
Shoulder
Slope Cross Fall Cross
Fall (as applies to cross sections)
Lane Carriage Way Lane -
This is critical. As with USA a carriageway may consist of several lanes
and the usage is NOT interchangeable.
Parcel Plot
Parcel (in use in the sense can I subdivide into several Parcels. Parcels
are usually called Lots as in Lot 1)
Note that there can be further variations in usage in the various States.
The spelling of "meter" does not comply with much of the Australian Metric
legislation and it would be highly desirable to provide for the spelling
used in 99% of the countries around the world. The use of "color" is off
putting, but we can probably live with it, having done so for the last 25
years in AutoCAD.

The difference is that we have "translated" the US terminology to better
match the UK or ANZ terminology on the International English version of
Civil 3D. Here is the short list of some of the changes:
Unmarked Disk "International English" Disk
Station Chainage
Profile Long Section
Shoulder Verge
Slope Cross Fall
Lane Carriage Way
There are a bunch more, but these are the big ones.
Meter and Color are spelled the same in both versions.
Cheers,
