High resolution observations of regions in the Lyα forest of QSO spectra have been obtained using the Anglo-Australian Telescope. The amount and quality of the data, and the analysis techniques used, have enabled the clustering properties of these objects to be explored on scales smaller than has previously been possible. The results suggest that the Lyα clouds are weakly clustered with <ξ> = 0.32±0.08 over the velocity range 50–290 km/s.
