Maps of Australia

Getting around Australia's easy -- they do speak English down under. Signs are in English (of course) making road trips extremely simple (though driving in Australia is a challenge at first, since the wheel and your lane are on the "wrong" side of the road; on the other hand, as a backpacking student driver, you'll find you're actually welcomed). Nonetheless, it's a big place, and maps of Australia are still crucial to your Australian travel planning. Find maps of the continent or more detailed maps of the territories (New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Tasmania, South Australia, Northern Territory, Western Australia and Australian Capital Territory (ACT)) as well as major cities (Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane and Canberra).
