The identification of "sandstone institutions" is related to the year in which they were founded. For example, there are also a number of sandstone buildings in the (Bond University) Park of the Private Bond University on the Gold Coast, but they are not widely recognized as "sandstone institutions".
However, Sandstone institutions are not nicknamed alliance universities in Australia, such as the University of Tasmania, which is not one of the top eight universities; on the contrary, Go8 universities such as the Australian National University, the University of New South Wales and the University of Monash are not sandstone universities. However, looking at the essentials of sandstone institutions (prestige, focusing on research, and emphasizing theory rather than practice), it is quite consistent with the "eight schools alliance".
