🌏 A Portrait of Australia in Cartographic Excellence

The Australia Wall Map from The Times is not merely a map — it is a statement of authority and artistry. Drawn directly from the pages of the Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World, long regarded as the benchmark in modern cartography, this wall map captures the essence of Australia’s vast landscapes, coasts, and cultural hubs with unparalleled clarity.

Every detail has been carefully crafted, combining the rigour of geographic accuracy with the beauty of refined design. The result is a map that is equally at home in a boardroom, library, or classroom, as it is displayed proudly on the walls of a home or study.

📍 Boundless Geographic Detail

Australia is a land defined by contrasts — desert heartlands and lush coastlines, modern cities and ancient landscapes, coral reefs and rugged ranges. This map celebrates those contrasts by capturing both the political framework and natural features of the continent.

• State & Territory Capitals – Major cities including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Hobart, and Darwin are clearly marked, along with Canberra, Australia’s national capital.

• Inset Maps – A rare strength of this map lies in its inclusion of outlying territories:

  • Cocos (Keeling) Islands

  • Christmas Island

  • Macquarie Island

  • Norfolk Island

  • Lord Howe Island

• Physical Geography – The Great Dividing Range, arid deserts, river systems, and coastal plains are depicted with precision.

• Marine Highlights – The surrounding seas and world-famous Great Barrier Reef are identified, reinforcing Australia’s position at the edge of the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

This level of detail ensures the map is not only a decorative piece, but also a functional reference tool.
