📜 The History of Group of Eight
The "Group of Eight" (Go8) is Australia's equivalent of the Ivy League. The rivalry between the University of Melbourne and the University of Sydney is the fiercest—Sydney is Australia's oldest university (1850), while Melbourne (1853) followed closely behind.
This "Sandstone University" rivalry mirrors the Melbourne vs. Sydney city rivalry. ANU, located in the capital Canberra, is the national university focused heavily on research and public policy, offering a third pole of power.
