[Canberra], 'Prepared by the National Mapping Section, Department of the Interior ... Reproduced by Royal Australian Survey Corps', 1951.

One map on four sheets, printed surface of each sheet 703 × 955 mm (when joined together, the sheets form a map measuring around 5' × 7' in imperial terms); the sheets are numbered 1-4 (left to right, top then bottom), with the publisher's reference 'AHQ / AO-12 / 0221' printed in the left-hand bottom margin.

Four single sheets, as issued; minimal cockling and a few trifling blemishes to some unprinted margins; an excellent set.

The states are printed en bloc in different colours; Tasmania appears on the third sheet as an inset (239 × 239 mm). This very large and detailed map shows 'homesteads, minor settlements, Aboriginal reserves, stock routes, highways, principal and other roads, railways, principal civil aerodromes' (Trove), with relief shown by spot heights. We have recently unearthed a small quantity of these maps. Purchasers of the full set may avail themselves of a special offer on a first-come first-served basis: additional copies of the fourth sheet (the south-eastern portion) may be had for $100 each.
