1911 Map of Australia: A Glimpse into the Past This 1911 Map of Australia, presented here as a vintage print, offers an intriguing glimpse into the historical geography and political landscape of the land down under during the early 20th century. The map, created in the midst of the 1910s, reflects the territorial claims and political boundaries that existed during that era. Australia, an island continent located in the Southern Hemisphere, had undergone significant changes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The map reveals the vast expanses of the Australian outback, the intricate coastline, and the various territories and colonies that made up the Australian federation. At the turn of the 20th century, Australia had been under British rule for over a century. The map shows the British colonies of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Tasmania, and the Northern Territory. The newly established Commonwealth of Australia, which came into existence on January 1, 1901, is depicted as a single entity, encompassing all the colonies except for the Northern Territory and Papua New Guinea. The map also highlights the various exploratory expeditions that had taken place in Australia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The names of explorers such as Burke and Wills, Leichhardt, and Sturt are marked on the map, reflecting their significant contributions to the exploration and mapping of the Australian continent. The 1911 Map of Australia serves as an essential historical document, offering insights into the geographical and political landscape of Australia during an era of significant change. It is a testament to the rich history of the land and the explorers who helped shape its modern identity. This print is a must-have for history enthusiasts, geographers, and anyone with an interest in the history of Australia.
