Thank you for this invitation to share with you some thoughts on major issues facing Australian universities. Continuing development is very important for all staff, including for administrators who are crucial to much of universities’ successful operation.

It is proposed that the usage of the term structural facing be extended to include fault structures. Fault facing is defined as the direction in a fault plane which is at right angles to the trace of the bedding and is directed towards the younger beds. Certain types of faulted structures are found to have diagnostic patterns of facing variation.
