Is there a way to save the map to you home page or a link or do we have to keep this email to get to it ?

Yes, you can save this map to the home page on your phone in the same way you save any other web pages. On a desktop, you can save it to favourites, your reading list or bookmark it. Exactly how you do this depends on the phone or computer’s operating system.

Cheers, Andrew

Questions and answers about Personalised Word Art

Will I see a proof?

Yes, we will create a proof of your personalised push pin map for you to review and approve within 2 working days of receiving payment for the order, usually less than 24 hours. You are welcome to request changes to the words and compass design, adding or removing words etc can be made on your request until you are 100% happy with the design. We will then print your art. Allow up to 1 business day per set of requested changes although the usual turnaround time is usually a lot less.

Can I request changes?

Absolutely, changes such as adding new text, text colours, compass design, tweaking the layout etc can be made on your request until you are 100% happy with the design. We will then print your art. Allow up to 1 business day per set of requested changes although the usual turnaround time is usually a lot less.

It’s a gift, can you not send the Invoice?

We don’t send the invoice with the artwork that’s all as the majority of the Bespoke Pin Map Artworks and it would ruin the surprise a bit if we include an invoice with the price paid.

How are the Canvas Prints / Framed Prints made so that they support the pins?

We use a signature canvas is that has been created specifically to support the pins and keep them stable, for the Framed Push Pin Map Prints, the image is mounted on 5mm foamcore board and pinned into the back of the frame, map pins can then be pushed into the image with the foam backing as there is no glass or acrylic in the front.

Why do the framed prints not have a card mat?

We have now stopped making the framed prints with a card mat as default, due you to the chance that humidity will cause the mat to buckle in time. Due to the necessity for pins to be pushed into the map, they are made without an acrylic/glass cover. If they don't have the clear acrylic or glass on the front, moisture and humidity can affect the edge of the cut out in the centre of the mat and can start to buckle and lift and warp the card. The default will be to print them without a card mat however on request we can still use the mat for the medium and large sizes. However, we offer no guarantees should issues that arise with the card matt overtime.

Does it come with pins included?

Yes they do, each push pin map comes with 30 pins in an assorted select of colours, feel free to add in the notes any requests such as if you want gold and silver pins (these are not normally included but can be), or if you want to choose specific colours.

I made a mistake when I ordered

Don’t worry at all, feel free to email us via the contact form here and just state your name or order number along with the changes you would like to make and we will just simply make a correction when we design the artwork, even if we missed your email at first you’re always welcome to request changes to the proof afterwards.

Can I collect the order in person?

Sure, you are more than welcome to pop by our studio here in Noosaville, Queensland to pick it up, just feel free to write in the notes that you would like to pick it up and we will let you know when it’s ready.

We offer three choices of finished product, Stretched Canvas Print, printed on 390gsm 100% cotton canvas, Framed Prints and also frame the archival fine art paper using premium grade timber moulding.

Deciphering Your Map Needs

The task of choosing the right map may seem daunting. However, a basic understanding of map scales, types, and key features can guide you towards making an informed choice.

Understanding Map Scales

Understanding the physical size of the area that a map depicts relies heavily on map scales. They can be visually represented as bar scales or described in words as lexical scales. Always check the map scale to ensure it meets your requirements.

Map Types and Their Uses

Different maps serve different purposes. While general reference maps are great for general navigation, navigational charts are essential for maritime and aerial use.

On the other hand, cadastral maps are integral for land surveying and urban planning.

Essential Features to Look For in a Map

Essential features such as a map key or legend, a compass rose, and latitude and longitude lines should be sought when selecting a map. Also, consider the size of the finishing options that can affect the size and how interactive the map can be.

Maps of Australia

Physical Map of Australia showing islands, peninsulas, lakes, hills, major cities, states, and more.

Australia, officially the Commonwealth of Australia, is located in the southern hemisphere and is bounded by two major bodies of water: the Indian Ocean to the west and the South Pacific Ocean to the east. As the world's sixth largest country, Australia covers a total area of about 7,741,220 km 2 (around 2.99 million mi 2 ). It is continental, in that the country entirely occupies the continent it resides on.

Australian geography is synonymous with vast coastal lowlands, extensive deserts, and sizable mountain ranges. It comprises six states — New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia , Tasmania, Victoria, and Western Australia — and two major mainland territories: the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. The country does not share land borders with any other nation. Instead, it lies relatively close to Indonesia, East Timor, and Papua New Guinea to the north, the Solomon Islands, Vanuatu , and the French dependency of New Caledonia to the east, and New Zealand to the southeast. Furthermore, Australia's mainland is divisible into three principal physiographic divisions: the Eastern Highlands, the Central Lowlands, and the Western Plateau.

The Great Dividing Range : The Eastern Highlands, often referred to as the Great Dividing Range , run parallel to the east coast of Australia, from the northeastern tip of Queensland, through New South Wales, and into the central part of Victoria. The highest point in Australia, Mount Kosciuszko , at 2,228 m (7,310 ft) is found in this range.

The Central Lowlands , lying between the Eastern Highlands and the Western Plateau, primarily consist of the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia's most significant agricultural area, and the Great Artesian Basin. The Murray River, Australia's longest at 2,508 kilometers (1,558 miles), runs through this region, playing a pivotal role in agriculture and water supply.

The Western Plateau , covering almost 70% of the country's landmass, includes the expansive deserts such as the Great Victoria Desert , the Gibson Desert, and the Simpson Desert. This region is characterized by flat landscapes, low relief, and abundant mineral resources, including immense deposits of iron ore and gold.

Islands : Australia is a nation of islands with over 8,000 in its territory. The largest is Tasmania , located 240 km (149 mi) to the south of the eastern part of the mainland, covering an area of about 68,401 km 2 (26,410 mi 2 ). Other notable islands include Fraser Island, the world's largest sand island, and Kangaroo Island, renowned for its diverse wildlife.

The country's marine geography is equally important, with the Great Barrier Reef spanning the northeast coast of Queensland. This world's largest coral reef system stretches over 2,300 km (1,429 mi) and is home to thousands of species of marine life like fish, whales, dolphins and six of the world's seven species of marine turtle.

Political Map of Australia

Political Map of Australia showing its 6 states and 2 major territories and the capital city of Canberra

Australia (officially, the Commonwealth of Australia) is divided into 6 states and 2 major mainland territories. In alphabetical order, the states are: New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia. The two major mainland territories are: Australian Capital Territory and Northern Territory. In addition to these, there are seven external territories – Ashmore and Cartier Islands, the Australian Antarctic Territory, Christmas Island, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, the Coral Sea Islands, Heard Island and McDonald Islands and Norfolk Islands.

Located in the northern edge of the Australian Capital Territory, in the southeastern part of the country is, Canberra – the capital of the Federation of Australia. It is also the country’s largest inland city and serves as the central administrative center of the federation. Situated on the country’s southeastern coast is, Sydney – the largest and the most populous city of Australia and Oceania. Its strategic location and magnificent harbor, makes it one of the chief ports in South Pacific. Melbourne is Australia’s 2 nd largest city.

Where is Australia?

Map showing location of Australia in the world.

Australia is the smallest continent and the largest country in Oceania located between the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean in the Southern hemisphere. Australia is geographically positioned both in the Southern and Eastern hemispheres of the Earth. It is completely surrounded by the Indian and Pacific Oceans and a series of bays, gulfs, seas and straits and is situated to the south of Maritime Southeast Asia and to the north of the Antactic. Australia is separated from Papua New Guinea by the Coral Sea and Torres Strait to the northeast; from Indonesia by the Timor and Arafura seas to the northwest; from Coral Sea Islands Territory by the Great Barrier Reef; from New Zealand by Tasman Sea to the southeast; and from Antarctica by Indian Ocean to the south.

How to plan a camper trip around Australia

Tasmin Waby

Sep 11, 2024 • 8 min read

australia map travel board

Plan your motor home travels around Australia with this guide to routes, seasons and vehicles. Benjamin Probert/Getty Images

There’s no better way to experience the best of Australia than on a road trip  in a camper through its stunning and wild natural landscapes.

Australia’s National Highway 1 may not be as storied as America’s Route 66, but a “lap of the map”  – via endless surf beaches, koala-dotted forests, flaming red deserts and awe-inspiring starry skies – will be life-defining. If you haven’t got time for the whole shebang, you’ll have just as much fun exploring one coast (the east coast or west?) or even a smaller region.

While there’s buckets of information out there from travelers who’ve gone before, here are the key things to consider before you hit the road for your motor home adventure in Australia.

A motor home drives along a long open road through an empty vast landscape

On a short break, focus on one region

If you have only a few weeks then you’ll need to stick to one region. If you want to spend more time communing with nature and less time driving then you might want to target a small region. 

For a mix of beaches , mountains and waterfalls head to northern NSW ( Byron Bay and around) and southern Queensland (with an incredible coast and the lush Scenic Rim region). For something similar but with emptier roads, check out the coast southwest of Perth around Margaret River and inland to the old forests of Pemberton. Tasmania is also very driveable in two weeks with mountains, beaches and delicious produce everywhere.

Flying into Darwin would take you to some of the most incredible scenery in Australia around Litchfield , Kakadu and down to Uluru and back. From Adelaide , there are options to explore the coast, wineries and wetlands south, or head into the ancient interior of Ikara-Flinders Ranges via the wineries of the Clare Valley.

The coastal roads from Melbourne to Sydney through southern NSW are long and windy, and the geography doesn’t vary quite as much, but the weather is temperate and there are many family-friendly hamlets with good camping sites. Picking up a camper in Cairns means exploring the lush Atherton Tablelands, and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Daintree National Park , managed by its traditional owners the Eastern Kuku Yalanji people (learn more on a Dreamtime Walk at Mossman Gorge ) and the Great Barrier Reef . 

But this is just a snapshot of options . With more time you can join a couple of these itineraries together and cruise on – say from Adelaide to Darwin, or from Sydney up to Cairns via Byron Bay in one trip.

Allow at least three months for a "lap of the map"

Some travelers make it their mission to circumnavigate the whole of Australia, and you’ll find plenty of blogs online with people sharing their tips for tackling the project over anything from six weeks to a year. 

Three months is a good minimum to dedicate to the trip. It gives you enough time for detours and longer stops at places you fall in love with, but you can also manage costs (the longer you’re away the more you spend, and there's greater chance that mechanical wear and tear will blow out your budget). 

May to October is the best time for a camper trip in Australia

Assuming you have only 12 weeks, the best time to go will be during Australia’s cooler months (May to October). In the north, you’ll be traveling in the dry season (any other time of year and a lot of the roads are impassable). Down south, it’ll be cool (cold even, with potential for snow on the Great Dividing Range) in southern NSW and Victoria – but this means campsites and caravan parks won’t be as busy.

December and January are best avoided. These months are school holidays, which means contending with domestic travelers on big summer camping trips. It's also a time with sweltering days where your legs stick to the car seat and the steering wheel is too hot to touch (although this could happen anytime from November to March).

If you’re traveling on a working holiday visa you’ll be able to stop and take up job opportunities wherever they find you – or if you’re on a self-funded gap year and can spend even longer traveling around Australia in your campervan – then you will be traveling in all seasons. Just make sure that you're not attempting to visit the north outside the dry season.

Buying a camper can be cost-effective

Some travelers choose to pull some savings together to buy a vehicle for their once-in-a-lifetime campervan trip in Australia. This can prove cost-effective if you get the right vehicle and look after it, making it possible to sell it at the end of your adventure (with some anticipated depreciation for the extra mileage). As well as the cost of the actual van, you’ll need to factor in other expenses like registration (“rego”); insurance; a roadworthiness certificate (RWC); repairs needed to get one to resell later; and equipping the vehicle with any extras you might want such as a campfire oven, outdoors shower, bikes or canoes.

Rental firms offer a large range of motor homes and vans

Another option is to rent a vehicle from a reputable hire company. In addition to international chains like Avis, there are Australia/NZ-specific ones to check out like Apollo, Maui and Britz.

You’ll have a large range of vehicles to choose from whether you’re looking for a top-of-the-line motor home/RV or very minimal van set-up or roof-top tent. Age and mileage are things to take into account when choosing between companies. The less expensive brands – usually marketed to backpackers – have older vehicles. Vans with Cheapa Campa , for example, are four years on fleet and older. 

You’ll need everyone who’s planning to drive to be at the vehicle collection with their driver’s license, plus a credit card (not a debit card) and an upfront security deposit to cover any potential damage. The best advantage of using a rental company is being able to choose a one-way trip: you could drive from Melbourne to Cairns or Perth to Broome (should you decide to tackle one coast or the other) without having to backtrack. 

Peer-to-peer campervan rentals are usually well equipped

Just as there is AirBnB for homestays, the Australian company Camplify (now also in the UK and Spain) enables campervan owners to rent to travelers directly. The costs are more affordable, and are usually well set up for an off-grid camping adventure. Some come with solar panels and decent batteries to run devices like fridges and even satellite broadband, so you won’t find yourself without any internet signal in the middle of nowhere.

When booking you get the option of adding extra insurance to reduce the “excess” you pay out of pocket should you have an accident. The only downsides: you have to return the camper from where you borrowed it, and owners can refuse your request based on your age or planned itinerary leaving the door open for discriminatory decisions. Fortunately there are loads of campers available, so you can take your pick.

Be realistic about how much space and comfort you need

Discuss what style of camper you want (and can afford) with your travel crew. Don’t forget to consider things like how you’ll manage if you don’t have showers, a camp kitchen, or toilets on board: you’ll need to budget to stay in places with facilities and (if you’re in for the long-haul time) to stop to do laundry occasionally. You also need to plan for disposing of your waste and storing things carefully overnight to ensure your campsite is not raided by local wildlife. 

Living in a small space can be challenging, (especially if one of your party is not very good at putting things away), while long drives, heat, and discomfort, can all take their toll. Consider honestly whether an RV vacation is the right trip for you before you invest in buying or hiring a motor home for a long trip. You are not going to be napping with a view of the ocean every day and some days you’ll be on the road for long stretches – Australia is big.

Get breakdown cover and download useful apps before departure

As well as adequate travel insurance to cover your vehicle and any extras, it’s a good idea to join a road users' association like the RACV or NMRA for roadside assistance in case of a breakdown.

There are also some excellent apps to help you on the road. Download them and make the most of them when you’ve got data (there are plenty of places in Australia without mobile signal).

  • Wikicamps is good for free or low-cost campsites
  • CamperMate includes free and paid campsites as well as facilities you will need
  • Hipcamp directs you to secluded spots on private property where you can pay to camp for the night.
  • Fuel Map Australia directs you to the nearest petrol stop (although current fuel prices are not reliable)
  • The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) app is a must-have for local forecasts – and potential weather warnings.

Whether you’re going solo, with friends, or taking your family on a special bucket-list trip, it’s time to get planning .
