| has gloss | eng: In Australia, the Sandstone Universities are an informally-defined group comprising the country's oldest tertiary education institutions. Most were founded in the colonial era with the exception of both The University of Queensland and The University of Western Australia. All of the universities included in the group have (or formerly had, in the case of the University of Tasmania) buildings constructed primarily of sandstone. Membership of the group is based on age; some universities, such as Bond University, a private institution, have sandstone buildings but are not considered sandstone universities. |
