Updated: 12 March 2004 Tourist Maps
Geoscience Australia's tourist related maps contain a wealth of information for the casual visitor and inquisitive explorer alike. Most include details of tourist facilities, appropriate warnings for outback travellers, road distances and travelling times, national parks and other reserves, and some descriptions of major tourist features. Australia Tourist MapNorthern Australia Tourist MapThis attractive map provides visitors to Australia's top end with all the information they need to navigate their way around Northern Australia. From National Parks to caravan parks and from ranger stations to petrol stations, this map identifies all the sites to see and locates the important facilities for travellers. This map is unique in providing complete coverage of Australia north of the tropic of Capricorn along with detailed tourist information. Printed on both sides, this product is supplemented by road distance tables, a selection of photographs and diagrams and informative text about the region. Australian Alps National ParksThis new edition map is the perfect guide for both summer and winter travellers to alpine national parks and other reserves in south-eastern New South Wales, north-eastern Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory. The area covered extends from Canberra in the north to Bairnsdale in the south, from Batemans Bay in the east and now to Shepparton, Seymour and eastern Melbourne in the west. A convenient summary table gives the latest details of more than 20 different types of tourist services and facilities at nearly 100 localities. Road surface information has also been updated. Kakadu National ParkThis large topographic map was specially prepared with the visitor to the region in mind. The map features the full 20 000 square kilometres of the Kakadu National Park as well as the surrounding area. At a scale of 1:250 000, the map includes contours at a 50m interval, highlighted information centres and park ranger stations, walking tracks, lookouts, vegetation density and the access, surface and 4WD status of roads and tracks. Uluru National ParkThis larger-than-normal detailed topographic map (1:100 000 scale) incorporates some tourist-related features. It depicts the spectacular Uluru Katajuta (Ayers Rock-Mt Olga) National Park and the Yulara tourist village area and surrounding Aboriginal lands. Contours (interval 20 m) dramatically show the contrast between the large, rocky outcrops of Uluru and The Olgas and the almost featureless plains which surround them. This map includes access roads and their surface condition, sunset viewing areas, travelling restrictions applying within and outside the national park boundary, and the broad expanses of sandridges. Norfolk Island Map and Visitors GuideAt 1:15 000 scale, this map is larger than previous editions. It is printed on both sides, with the reverse portraying colourful photographs and text describing Norfolk Island’s flora and fauna, history, things to do and see etc. Australian Capital TerritoryPopular with both ACT residents and visitors, this detailed topographic map (1:100 000 scale, contour interval 20 m) covers the whole of the Territory and surrounding areas of New South Wales from Lake George in the north-east corner to Bredbo in the south, and as far east as Bungendore and Captains Flat. The major road pattern in Canberra and Queanbeyan is depicted as well as road surface conditions in rural areas. The pine plantations found extensively to the east and west of Canberra contrast strongly with the native vegetation of Namadgi National Park, which covers much of the Territory to the west and south of Canberra.
