What are rails?
The type of Rails available for this map are wooden dowels that connect to the top and the bottom of the map to help it hang flat against the wall.
The top rail has a thin rope that can hang from a hook or nail.
The bottom rail has a thin rope used to pull the map down.
These rails serve as a hanging option that eliminates the need for tape or pushpins. |

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 Traveler's Look at Australia."

• Inset maps showing Australia's growth and movement from 125 million years ago to present day
