Over 40,000 residents of Australia were born in South Africa. A survey of the demographic characteristics of migrants and their motivations was undertaken. The socio-political situation was found to dominate thinking. - (AJC)
The application of the geomagnetic polarity time scale to terrestrial Pleistocene sediments in the Adelaide area of SouthAustralia has elucidated landscape evolution. The palaeomagnetic data has also more precisely fixed the timing

A hypothesis is presented here of the landscape evolution of southeast Australia which brings together evidence of landforms, tectonics, drainage patterns and sedimentary basins to make a consistent picture. The sedimentary record of the basins

This paper investigates the dynamics of the diverse vegetation in the south-west of Australia, and judges the degree of vegetation change identified against environmental change. The site chosen is close to one of Churchill's sites, West Lake Muir
An early Holocene palaeoenvironmental record from Two Mile Lake, south-western Australia

of the development of a Proteaceous rich flora in south-western Australia. The results add to the idea that these vegetation taxa were unresponsive to and/or unaffected by climatic changes of the early Holocene.

This article analyses the socioeconomic impact of shared appreciation mortgages (SAM) on borrowers through empirical evidence from SouthAustralia. To do so, it examines a dataset of low-income SAM-financed households and finds that they benefit

Late Quaternary deposits of a headwater basin in the south-eastern highlands of Australia are examined and compared to published records to identify the processes of denudation and sedimentation. Sources of sediment, the nature of sediment stores
The Woakwine Terrace in the south east of SouthAustralia and indications of the very early presence of man in Quaternary coastlines and marine archaeology: Towards the prehistory of land bridges and continental shelves.
