Australia 1963 Wall Map by National Geographic

Explore the diverse ecosystems of the Australian continent with this attractive and detailed map. Printed in September 1963 with the article "The Settled East, the Barrier Reef, the Center."

The 1963 Australia map features:

• Insets of major cities including Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney
• Tasmania inset
• Aboriginal reserves
• Thousands of place names including capitals, cities, and towns
• Roads and railroads (both existing and under construction), superhighways, and places with scheduled air service
• Ocean bathymetry, coral reefs, and warm currents
• Mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts, dry salt lakes, and water holes

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 10 working days to deliver hang railed maps as they need to be attached by our framer.
