Another Aussie here.
I would say that "a couple" can also mean several. For example:
"Come back in a couple of days and we might have them in stock".
"Turn right where the old farmhouse used to be and they are a couple of k's down the road"
- wizofaus 3y agoI'd interpret that as "2 days", with the implicit assumption that you can come back after 2 days and we'll still have them. A couple of km shouldn't really mean more than 3km, but obviously we don't expect anyone to go out and measure them. I'd allow that "a couple" could mean "2 that I'm certain about, but possibly 3 or maybe even 4".
