Explore the Remote Heart of Australia's Red Centre — A Heritage Map for True Outback Adventurers

The Westprint Plenty Highway Map is your ultimate guide to one of Australia’s most legendary outback routes. Tailor-made for 4WD explorers, campers, and caravanners, this map covers the Plenty Highway in the Northern Territory, the full Sandover Highway, and the Diamantina Developmental Road between Birdsville and Dajarra in outback Queensland. Whether you're crossing desert plains, tracing the steps of early explorers, or heading off-grid for days at a time, this map delivers the detail, reliability, and historical richness Westprint is known for.

Part of Westprint’s renowned Heritage Map Series, this is far more than a navigation tool—it’s a cultural and historical guide to the region, with extensive background information on exploration, Aboriginal history, pioneering tracks, and natural features.
