This map depicts Australia, showing its division into states and territories during the colonial era. The continent is color-coded to distinguish different regions: Western Australia (pink), South Australia (yellow), Northern Territory (part of South Australia at the time, also in yellow), Queensland (brown), New South Wales (green), Victoria (pink), and Tasmania (yellow). The map is rich in geographical detail, labeling numerous coastal features, bays, gulfs, and islands. Major inland features such as deserts, mountain ranges, and lakes are also marked. The Great Dividing Range is clearly visible along the eastern coast. The surrounding bodies of water are labeled, including the Indian Ocean, Pacific Ocean, and the Great Australian Bight. The map includes a scale of miles and longitude/latitude markings. Place names reflect both Indigenous and colonial influences. The level of detail suggests this map was likely used for educational or administrative purposes, providing a comprehensive view of Australia's geography and territorial divisions during a specific period of its colonial history.NOTE THE FOLLOWING BEFORE YOU PURCHASE: This is a GENUINE ANTIQUE VINTAGE MAP.
