This is a slightly modified version of Bashimao's La Trobe latex template based on the classicthesis thesis template by André Miede.
I've made slight changes so that the margins meet the requirements of the physics department. I've changed the language to Australian. I've also added an acronym page and appendices.
Most importantly, I've uploaded it to Overleaf as a template.
thesis.tex is the root document and includes the individual chapters. The content of the chapters can be found under text/. It is pretty self-explanatory. Figures should be placed under figures/. Bibliography should be put into library.bib. If you have multiple and/or large tables I recommend creating a separate folder and individula files for them and importing them.
You should replace the configuration at the top of thesis.tex with your actual information. That's it!
