Maps of Australia

Choosing your Australia map

The right map depends on what you're doing with it:

• Road trip or touring — Hema road atlases and folded touring maps. The Hema Australia Road Atlas is the standard reference; folded state maps fit the glovebox.
• 4WD and off-road — Hema 4WD atlases and topographic maps. The Hema Atlas of Australia 4WD edition covers every dirt track worth knowing.
• Bushwalking and hiking — topographic 1:25,000 (state series) for individual buildings, fence lines and contours; 1:50,000 for multi-day routes.
• Home, office or classroom display — laminated wall maps, canvas with hang rails, or framed editions. The Hema 1660 × 1455mm Mega Map is the showstopper.
• Mining, surveying or business planning — postcode maps, electoral maps, supersized business wall maps, and our custom mapping service.
• Children and education — kid-friendly Australia wall maps and atlases pitched at primary and secondary level.

Frequently asked questions

Which Australia map should I buy for a road trip?

For a long road trip, the Hema Australia Road Atlas is the standard reference — it's been the touring atlas of choice for decades, and the current edition covers every sealed and most major unsealed roads. For glovebox use, a folded Hema Australia road map; for wall planning, the Hema laminated 1000 × 875mm. Pair the atlas with a state-specific folded map for any state you'll spend more than a day in.

What's the difference between Hema and UBD?

Hema specialises in touring, 4WD and broad-area mapping — their atlases and wall maps are the standard for road trips and outback travel. UBD Gregory's specialises in urban and suburban — city street directories, suburban wall maps, postcode maps, electoral maps. If you're driving between towns, you want Hema. If you're navigating Perth's suburbs, you want UBD.

Do maps ship folded or rolled?

Folded maps and atlases ship folded as standard (flat versions on request — just contact us). Laminated wall maps and prints over A2 ship rolled in a sturdy tube to preserve the lamination and prevent creasing. Hang rails and canvas ship in tubes by default.

Do you carry maps for individual states and territories?

Yes — we have dedicated collections for every state and territory (links above), each carrying folded touring maps, wall maps, topographic series, 4WD guides and city/suburban UBD maps. The state collections include both Hema and local-publisher options where they exist.

Can I order custom or branded Australia maps?

Yes. Mapworld runs a custom mapping service for businesses needing branded or modified Australia maps — postcode and electoral overlays, sales-territory maps, healthcare service catchments, mining tenement maps, fleet planning and so on. Visit the custom mapping page or contact us for a quote.

How quickly do you ship?
