This unique map is a photomosaic of computer-enhanced satellite images portraying Australia's physical features and vegetation. A brief history of the continent's formation is included as well as a colorful demonstration of the temperature gradient of the region. This map was published in February 1988 in an issue devoted to Australia's bicentennial which included another map, "A Traveller's Look at Australia." Together, the two maps make fine keepsakes for those interested in "The Land Down Under."
The 1988 "Australia Continental Odyssey" map features:• Illustration showing Australia's position 200 million years ago
• Inset maps showing Australia's growth and movement from 125 million years ago to present day
• Information on the formation of the continent
• Computer-enhanced satellite image showing vegetation
• A colorful temperature gradient of the continent
