This map is part of a series which comprises 50 maps which covers the whole of Australia at a scale of 1:1 000 000 (1cm on a map represents 10km on the ground). Each standard map covers an area of 6 degrees longitude by 4 degrees latitude or about 590 kilometres east to west and about 440 kilometres from north to south. These maps depict natural and constructed features including transport infrastructure (roads, railway airports), hydrography, contours, hypsometric and bathymetric layers, localities and some administrative boundaries, making this a useful general reference map.

The geology of Cape Denison is presented with a brief summary of the geology with reference to the historical aspects of the region. The poster is being released to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition lead by Douglas Mawson in 1911-1914.

<p>The map covers an area of 1.6 degrees longitude by 2.17 degrees latitude or about 160 kilometres from east to west and about 238 kilometres from north to south. <p>This map contains natural and constructed features including road infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours (interval 50m), localities and administrative boundaries for the Francois Peron National Park and Shark Bay Marine Park, both inclusive of a World Heritage Area. <p>The reverse side of the map depicts the same area using a satellite image with an overlay of major roads, tourism features and facilities as well as insets featuring the towns of Carnarvon and Denham. <p>The topographic map and data index shows coverage of the sheets. <p>Product Specifications: <p>Coverage: The series covers the whole of Australia with 513 maps. <p>Currency: Ranges from 1995 to 2009. 95% of maps have a reliability date of 1994 or later. <p>Coordinates: <p>Geographical and either AMG or MGA (post-1993) <p>Datum: AGD66, GDA94, AHD. <p>Projection: Universal Traverse Mercator (UTM) <p>Forward Program: Selected maps under revision.

<p>Withdrawn from sale as this product is deemed to be of inferior quality <p>Australia`s 1:100 000 scale (100K) topographic maps, supplimented with 1:250 000 scale (250K) topographic maps in ECW Raster format where 100K maps do not exist or are not suitable. This generally includes central Australia and Tasmania. Maps are provided in a seamless format on DVD ROM. A user guide and map legend are included, however viewing software is not included.

<p>At this scale 1cm on the map represents 1km on the ground. This map covers a minimum area of 0.8 degrees longitude by 0.57 degrees latitude or about 81km by 63km (western section of the area). The contour interval is 20m. <p>This map contains natural and constructed features including road and rail infrastructure, vegetation, hydrography, contours, localities and some administrative boundaries. A satellite image with insets for popular destinations is on the reverse. <p>Product Specifications: <p>Coverage: Australia is covered by more than 3000 x 1:100,000 scale maps, of which 1600 have been published as printed maps. Unpublished maps are available as compilations <p>Currency: 2006 <p>Coordinates: Geographical, MGA coordinates <p>Datum: GDA94; AHD <p>Projection: Universal Transverse Mercator UTM <p>Forward Program: N/A <p>An additional map is also available of the eastern section of the area (Map 2).

This map contains natural and constructed features including road infrastructure, foot tracks, hydrography, vegetation, contours (interval 20m), localities and some administrative boundaries. The reverse side of the map depicts the same area using a satellite image with an overlay of major roads, tourist attractions, facilities and an inset of Kings Canyon. This is map 4 of Australia's Red Centre National Landscapes series.

Uluru (Ayers Rock) and Kata Tjuta (Mount Olga) are two of Australia's best-known landmarks, and thousands of people visit them each year. Geoscience Australia is preparing a new edition of 'Uluru & Kata Tjuta: a geological history' (Sweet et al in prep), which will include a new solid-geology map and cross-sections based on outcrop information, the results of drilling of more than 200 water bores in the 1970s by the Northern Territory Government, and interpretation of aeromagnetic data collected in 1988 by the Northern Territory Geological Survey.

The International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS; www.iugs.org/) is the scientific sponsor of the International Geological Congress (IGC), which is generally held every four years and has a proud 140 year tradition. The main purpose of the IGC is to encourage the advancement of applied and fundamental research in the Earth Sciences worldwide. Recent IGCs have attracted 5,000-7,000 delegates from over a hundred countries. Australia is hosting the 34th IGC on behalf of the Oceania region in Brisbane, 2-10 August 2012 (www.34igc.org). This large and prestigious event, which is also being referred to as AUSTRALIA 2012, offers the geoscience community of our region a wonderful opportunity for international networking and collaboration, and enhanced recognition of our geology and accomplishments. AUSTRALIA 2012 will be an important forum for interdisciplinary interactions in all fields of geoscientific endeavour.
