A beautifully preserved glimpse of postwar Brisbane, officially recognised by the RACQ.
Take a step back in time with this striking vintage reproduction of Map No. 77: Brisbane & Suburbs, originally published in 1957 and designed by Clive Barrass. Created during a period of rapid growth for Queensland’s capital, this is more than just a map—it’s a cartographic time capsule of a changing city.
What makes this piece especially distinctive is its unique layout: the sheet is split 50/50, with one half showing a detailed 10km radius around central Brisbane and the other half covering a 70km suburban radius—ideal for exploring both the urban grid and the expanding suburban sprawl of the mid-century era.
This map was officially recognised by the Royal Automobile Club of Queensland (RACQ), attesting to its historical importance and accuracy. It showcases early road networks, rail lines, riverside developments, and suburb boundaries—many of which have changed dramatically in the decades since.
