Eucalyptus, Sheep & Desert


Most of Commonwealth of Australia is desert. The bits that aren't desert are populated past times sheep together with eucalyptus forests.

I discovered these interesting facts from but about onetime Australian maps featured on ABC's But where is the greenish sheep? Old maps seat the fine art inwards cartography. The ABC article features but about groovy examples of vintage maps from the National Library of Australia's collection. The static maps include a seat out of cartographic illustrations of Australia's vegetation, livestock together with climatic conditions.

Towards the bottom of the ABC article are a seat out of interactive versions of vintage maps from the NLA collection. These interactive maps include a 1940 map of Aboriginal tribes together with a map showing the routes taken past times but about of the earliest European explorations of the Australia.
