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: three main routes from Melbourne to Adelaide, with an enlargement at 1:450,000 for the Great Ocean Road between Geelong and Nelson on the border between Victoria and South Australia. Further enlargements show through roads across the suburbs and environs of Melbourne and Adelaide. The map includes tables showing facilities in the national parks of both states and distances between the two cities along the three main highway routes (Western - Dukes, Great Ocean Road - Princes, and Calder - Sturt), plus general notes. Latitude/longitude grid is at 1º intervals.
