A Landmark Cartographic Collaboration in Australian Geology and Hydrology – Now Available as a Premium Wall Map
Originally published in 1969, this Relief and Landform Map of Australia is a significant scientific and cartographic achievement, reflecting the combined efforts of Australia’s leading geographers, geologists, and hydrologists of the time. Compiled by E. Löffler and B.P. after a generalised preliminary map by L. Ho and J.A. Mabbutt of the Division of Land Research, CSIRO, the map draws on fieldwork conducted by the Bureau of Mineral Resources and support from the Australian Water Resources Council Advisory Panel on Representative Basins.
This visually arresting map shows the physical terrain of the Australian continent, highlighting relief, elevation, and key landform types, while also integrating symbols for rock types of hydrological significance—a detail that makes it valuable both as an educational tool and a collector's piece.
