[Map]The beginnings of crystallography in the region can be traced back to the turn of the 20th century when Sir William H Bragg was appointed Professor of Mathematics & Physics at the University of Adelaide, a post he held from 1886 to 1908. There he experimented with ionizing radiation, which had then only recently been discovered by Roëntgen in Germany.
