Canberra and the Australian Capital Territory

Series details

£7.95

One of the titles in a series of maps of Australian cities and their environs, with each title combining a selection of maps: the central area, the suburbs, and the wider environs. The map of the central part, more diagrammatic in style than found in most tourist street plans, shows one way streets and main buildings, with its short index listing some accommodation and main places of interest. The map of the city with its suburbs has an index listing all the suburbs, while the maps of the environs have indexes of the localities and highlight places of interest. No geographical coordinates are shown on the maps. Also included are diagrams of highway connections to Australia’s other main cities.

In this title: central Canberra at approx. 1:25,000, and at approx. 1:50,000 with the suburbs. The map of the region at approx. 1:550,000 covers the coastline from the NSW/Victoria border to Wollongong and includes the whole of the Kosciuszko and Snowy River National Parks, extending eastwards to Albury and Wodonga. The diagrams show the capital’s connections with Sydney via the Federal/Hume Highways and with Melbourne via the Barton/Hume Highways, as well as Sydney to Melbourne on the Princes Highway and Sidney to Adelaide on the Sturt/Hume Highways.
