Australian Road Map: Australian road map represents Australian Highway System which is broken up into 3 different categories: Federal Highways, State Highways and Local Roads. The total length of Highways is 837,872 km where paved is 243,750 kms and unpaved (including gravel, crushed stone, stabilized earth) is 228,396 kms; unimproved earth is 365,726 kms. In Northern Australia, in wet season (November through April), unsealed roads are often impassable, even for 4-wheel- drive vehicles, and sealed roads may be cut off by flood waters for a few hours to a few days. Australian road rules are model road rules for Australia. Road rules are a set by each of the eight state and territories in Australia. Historically there were many differences between the eight different sets of traffic laws in force in Australia. Since 1948 attempts had been made to develop a unified set of rules to cover the whole nation.

Australian City Map: Australia is the world's smallest continent between the Indian Ocean and the southwest Pacific Ocean. Australia consists of six states, two major mainland territories, and other minor territories. Each state of Australia has its own regional capital where local judicial, administrative and legislative duties are centered. The states are New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania, Victoria and Western Australia with their capitals as Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Hobart, Melbourne and Perth respectively. The two major mainland territories are the Northern Territory and the Australian Capital Territory with their capital as Darwin and Canberra respectively. In most respects, the territories function similarly to the states. Each state and territory has its own legislature. Capital of Australia is Canberra, and its largest city is Sydney. You can get Australian city maps at any local shop.

Australian Weather Map: Australia is a large country; its weather varies significantly in different parts of the continent. In the north there are tropical regions with high temperatures and high humidity and distinct wet and dry seasons. In the centre of the country are dry, desert regions with high daytime temperatures and low amounts of rain. In the south are the temperate regions with their moderate rainfall and temperatures ranging from hot to cold. The temperature in Australia changes with seasons, but in general it ranges between highs of 50 degrees Celsius to lows of sub-zero temperatures. The lowest temperatures reached in Australia, however, are not comparable to the extreme lows experienced in other continents. The weather in the Australian tropics has two very different seasons: the wet season and the dry season.

Australian Desert Map: Apart from Antarctica, Australia is the driest continent in the world. About 35% of the continent receives so little rain that it is effectively desert. In total, 70% of the mainland receives less than 500 mm of rain annually, which classifies it as arid, or semi-arid. Remote and arid parts are also referred to as outback. Deserts of Australia cover a large portion of the land in Australia. Most of the deserts lie in the central and north-western part of the country. The largest part of Australia is desert or semi-arid. The combined size of the deserts in Australia is 1.3 million square miles, and occupies 44% of the continent. Australia's deserts are distributed throughout the western plateau and interior lowlands. The largest desert of Australia is The Great Victoria.The Great Victoria Desert lies in Western Australia and South Australia. It is over 700 kilometers wide and covers an area of 424,400 square kilometers.
