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: the western half of Western Australia, extending beyond Perth to Bunbury, with the two main routes between Perth and Broome: the North West Coastal Highway and the Great Northern Highway. Also included is a north/south route further to the east, between Esperance on the coast and Wiluna. The map also highlights such historical routes as Kingsford Smith Mail Run, Wool Wagon Pathway, Miner’s Pathway, and Pioneer’s Pathway. Latitude/longitude grid is at 2º intervals.
On the reverse there are enlargements providing more detailed coverage of areas of special interest: the western part of Millstream Chichester National Park, the northern half of the Karijini National Park, Kalbarri National Park and the environs of Northampton, Cape Range National Park with the Ningaloo Marine Park, and the area around the Peron Peninsula with the Shark Bay Marine Park. The map also includes enlargements showing through roads across the suburbs and environs of Perth, a street plan of Broome, general notes and lists of information centres, lists of facilities in the national parks, and tables of distances along the two main highways.
