Indigenous Australia 1200 x 850mm Paper Wall Map AO Size

A powerful cultural, historical, and educational resource honouring Australia’s First Peoples

The Indigenous Australia Wall Map is more than a geographic reference — it’s a visual story of heritage, identity, and connection to Country. Developed using the authoritative Encyclopedia of Aboriginal Australia, this map offers a culturally respectful and richly detailed portrayal of the many languages, tribal groups, and regions that define Indigenous Australia.

Where modern political maps divide Australia into states and territories, this map instead presents the continent through the lens of traditional cultural boundaries. It divides Australia into 18 distinct regions, shaped by factors such as shared languages, trade networks, cultural ties, and spiritual connection to the land.

In addition to mapping these regions, the chart also pinpoints historic sites and other culturally significant locations, encouraging meaningful reflection on the long and deep history of Indigenous occupation — a history stretching back more than 65,000 years.

Whether displayed in a classroom, library, office, cultural centre, or at home, this large-format map invites conversation, learning, and respect for the diversity and resilience of Australia’s First Nations peoples.
