Clarke, Coal And Controversy: The Traumas Of Reverend W.B. Clarke In His Defence Of Australian Geology During The Nineteenth Century, Michael K. Organ

The Multifunction Polis: A Catalyst For Change In The 21st Century, Laurie Stevenson, Barbara Lepani
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
