Aussie here. Definitely always called them milk bars.

Most of them have closed though, given that more people have cars and are willing to drive a bit further to save a dollar on their loaf of bread at the supermarket.

Yeah, still called them milko's in the 80s, even though milk was delivered to your door. By the 90s both the milk runs and the milko's were gone.

The only ones i remember surviving were also takeaways. Which now that i think about it, is probably also a colloquialism.
