Australia 1979 Wall Map by National Geographic

Known for its stunning Great Barrier Reef and unique wildlife, Australia is a land of adventure and diversity. Published in February 1979 as a companion to the "Australia, Land of Living Fossils" map and the article "Those Kangaroos! They're a Marvelous Mob."

The 1979 Australia map features:

• Inset of Tasmania
• Thousands of place names, including capitals, cities, towns, and homesteads
• Railroads and roads (both existing and under construction) and airports
• Aboriginal land borders defined
• Mountains, rivers, lakes, dry salt lakes, swamps, deserts, and waterholes
• Ocean bathymetry and coral reefs
• Oil fields

The map can come either printed on heavyweight 160 gsm paper or laminated. The paper version is perfect for framing under glass, and the laminated version is exceptionally hard-wearing as we use a true encapsulation of two pieces of 80-micron gloss laminate.

Alternatively, we can supply this map on 395 gsm HP Professional Matte Canvas using pigment-based inks - making the map highly durable and fade resistant. The exceptional clarity of printing makes this map a stunning addition to any room, and its high quality means that it will provide years of enjoyment.

The easiest way to hang your canvas map is by having wooden hang rollers attached top and bottom with a hanging cord on the top roller, so all you have to do is put a hook on the wall. The hang rails come lacquered in a natural timber colour.

Note: Please allow ten working days to deliver hang railed maps as they need to be attached by our framer.
