Australia Shaded Relief Wall Map – National Geographic
This Australia shaded relief wall map pulls the physical plate straight out of National Geographic’s Atlas of the World, 11th Edition, now sold on its own. The relief work is the draw: the arid interior, the Great Sandy Desert, the salt flats around Lake Eyre, the spine of the Great Dividing Range running down the east, and Tasmania across the strait, all rendered in the shaded relief style National Geographic has refined on its wall maps for more than 75 years. Oceans read bright blue, and the palette stays legible from across a room.
Geography teachers and home school parents use it for landform and environmental units, where students need to see how the continent is actually shaped rather than just where the state lines fall. It reads just as well in a study or office.
