I did not know that. That's not cool
Pretty sure most countries use .ac for universities. Ac.uk, ac.au, ac.nz are all standard.
Australia doesn’t. We’re all .edu.au
Edit: here is the list of who uses it. Stands for academia if it wasn’t self evident to anyone else either.
2nd edit: having trouble with escaping characters in the link so it’s defaulting to the ac page when it should be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ac_(second-level_domain)
Sorry, remembered wrong.
Stands to reason, you guys like .com.au instead of .co.wherever as well.
Just checked all 43 unis in this list and only Monash and carangie melon, which is an international uni, break the trend.
