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 main route between these two cities, along the Newell Highway to Goondiwindi (on the NSW-QLD border) and its continuation on the Leichhardt Highway, described by the publishers as “the fastest route from Melbourne to the tropics, avoiding the more hectic pace associated with the coastal routes”. The map highlights numerous campsites and caravan parks, as well as roadside rest areas with or without camping facilities, fuels supplies, etc. Latitude/longitude grid is at 1º intervals. Coverage includes Brisbane and Sydney to show the connecting routes from these cites to the Newell and Leichhardt Highways.
