Details
One of the titles in a series of road map presenting Australia’s popular regions with street plans of main towns, description of places of interest and lists local events, tourist facilities in national parks, contact details of information centres, etc. In each title the main road map is relatively small, often covering less than half of one side of the sheet. The map is indexed and highlights main places of interest and areas shown on the reverse as enlargements or street plans. City to city maps have route diagrams of main highways indicating tourist facilities.
In this title: the main map at 1:1,300,000 covers the area between the two cities, extending northwards to Maroochydore and inland to the Newell Highway, and highlights the two main routes which connect them, the New England Highway and the Pacific Highway. On the reverse each of the highways is shown as a straight line, with connecting roads, nearby towns and localities, intermediate driving distances, various types of accommodation, rest areas, and 24-hour petrol stations. Brief descriptions are provided for main places of interest along each route. The map also includes brief notes on other routes between the two cities and lists of tourist information centres and facilities in the national parks.
