Details
One of the titles in a series of touring maps connecting Australia’s main centres of population along some of the most spectacular routes such as the Great Ocean Road or the Savannah Way. The maps highlight 24-hour fuel supplies, roadside rest areas, camping facilities, places of interest, etc., and include distance charts and, in some titles, city maps. Road network indicates unsurfaced roads and tracks. The maps also show railway lines. There is no topographical information beyond names of mountain ranges and selected peaks, plus rivers and lakes, but national and state parks, conservation areas and reserves, and aboriginal lands are all highlighted. The maps have a grid showing latitude and longitude at intervals of 1º or 2º.
In this title: double-sided map showing the two main routes between these two cities, the east coast route via Sydney and the Newell Highway across the interior. The map highlights numerous campsites and caravan parks both along the coast and in the mountain of the Great Dividing Range. Enlargements show through roads across the suburbs and environs of Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Also included are tables with distance and driving times along the highways (Melbourne/Sydney on the Hume Highway, Melbourne/Brisbane on the Princes Highway, Melbourne/Brisbane on the Newell Highway, Sydney/Brisbane on the Pacific Highway, and Sydney/Brisbane on the New England Highway), and a list of information centres. Latitude/longitude grid is at 1º intervals.
