Map Scale = 1:4,250,000 Sheet Size = 25.5" x 37.75" Folded Size = 4.25" x 9.25" Review: Great for travel - Help with our trip to Australia. Good reference guide Review: Sturdy, fabulous for an overview and for navigating less-populated areas - This is a very sturdy map that we referred to often in the hotel in the evening during our trip. It's printed on both sides, with half of the country/continent on each side. All the roads in the less-populated areas are on it, and national parks and other areas of interest are included. It's a large-scale map, though, so for cities you'll need a more-detailed printed or digital map.
