Australia Eastern

£9.50

Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map Eastern Australia with topographic and tourist information, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project. The map is double-sided to provide the best balance between a good scale and a convenient size sheet.

On one side are most of Victoria, New South Wales and southern Queensland to beyond Bundaberg, with Tasmania as an inset, extending westwards to just beyond 143º. On the reverse the map shows tropical Queensland and the Great Barrier Reef, extending inland to 141º. The area’s topography is shown by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, mountain passes, names of mountain ranges, swamps, seasonal salt and fresh water lakes, etc. Bathymetric contours are also shown and along the Great Barrier Reef names of individual reefs and passages are indicated.

Road network includes selected minor local roads, shows intermediate driving distances on motorways and main roads, gives names of the highways connecting main cities, and indicates locations of fuels supplies in more remote areas. The map also shows the rail network and local airfields. Numerous national and state parks, including marine parks, are marked, as well as aboriginal land and restricted access military zones. Symbols highlight various places of interest, viewpoints, springs and waterfalls, botanical gardens, natural curiosities, etc. The map has a latitude/longitude grid at intervals of 1º and an index of localities. Map legend includes English.

”World Mapping Project” is an extensive series of maps at varying scales, aiming to provide coverage of countries and regions worldwide using clear, well presented cartography with both topographic and tourist information. Some titles in this series have been published in Britain by Rough Guides with the same original cartography and are listed on our website only under that imprint. However, if required, the original Reise Know-How editions can be ordered on request - please contact us by e-mail.

Sample of cartography:
Some elements of the cartography e.g. minor roads and contours are printed relatively faintly compared with other information such as major roads. Although clearly legible on the map, the lower contrast of these details has made them less obvious on the reproduction of the cartography presented here.
