Australia Land & Seabed Relief Wall Map

Australia Land & Seabed Relief Wall Map — John A. Yarra (1984) — 1000 × 800 mm

Topographic + Bathymetric • 1:5,000,000 • Premium Finishes

A landmark plate from the Division of National Mapping’s Australia 1:5,000,000 series, this 1984 John A. Yarra map reveals the continent above and below the waterline—ranges and basins on land, shelves, slopes, ridges, and trenches at sea—with refined shaded relief and bathymetric detail. It’s both a conversation piece and a serious reference for classrooms, studios, and ocean-curious minds.

🗺️ Map Features (Expanded)

• Dual-World View (Land + Seafloor): Integrated hypsometric land shading with bathymetric depth contours and soundings—see how the Great Dividing Range transitions to the continental shelf, then drops along the continental slope to abyssal plains.

• Geomorphology at a Glance: Read the story of plate margins, submarine plateaus, seamount chains, and mid-ocean ridges that frame Australia’s maritime domain.

• Clear, Wall-Readable Labelling: Precisely tuned type and symbology for viewing across rooms—ideal for boardrooms, lecture theatres, and studio walls.

• Cartographic Integrity: Drawn to 1:5,000,000 on a simple conic projection (standard parallels 18°S & 36°S) with coverage 110°E–160°E and 10°S–45°S.

• Context for Curious Minds: Spot heights, landform notation, and seabed morphology help decode why weather, currents, biodiversity and resources vary around the coast.

• Archival Heritage (1984): A faithful reproduction of a classic—revered by geographers, educators and collectors.

🎓 Who This Map Serves

• Educators & Students: Visualise orogeny, erosion, and ocean-floor spreading in one compact teaching tool.

• Marine & Environmental Pros: Quick situational awareness—shelf width, basin geometry, and ridge orientation at a glance.

• Design & Interiors: A sophisticated focal piece for studies, living rooms, and studios; pairs beautifully with timber frames or hang rails.

• Collectors of Aussie Cartography: A must-have historical plate that bridges terrestrial and marine science.
