On
this page you can pick the Queensland map that suits your trip.
I know this may be
getting repetative if you read all my maps pages,
but the maps I always
recommend are HEMA maps.They are the
best and
most detailed ones amonst all that are available
in Australia, and they are the only
ones I
use.
Get a Queensland Map by HEMA
This great Queensland map covers the whole state and

and other points of
interest
* maps rest areas
and camping grounds

and includes distance
grids
It is a great map of the whole Queensland.
Brisbane

This map covers Brisbane
CBD, inner and outer suburbs, and
the region
around it.
It also includes a rail
map and a ferry
map.
It is fully indexed,

and also points out points
of interest. Handy if you visit Brisbane
or its surroundings.
Gold
Coast Map
This map covers the area south of Brisbane, including Surfers Paradise, Main Beach, Broadbeach and the Gold Coast Hinterland.

Coast.
Sunshine

This map covers the area north of Brisbane.
It includes street maps from Bribie
Island to Noosa.
It also includes a great detailed map of Sunshine Coast hinterland.
And it includes street
index as well as information of the area that is handy if
you visit Sunshine
Coast.
South
East Queensland Map
This map covers the area in the south eastern corner of Queensland.
It includes points of
interest, national
parks, and the SE-Queensland part of National Trail - a
5000+ km multi use track suitable for walkers, horse riders, mountain
bikers - that goes all the way up to Cooktown
(and down
to Victoria).
The map also has distance charts and tourist information.
Wide
Bay - Burnett Map
This map covers the area north of Sunshine Coast and south of
Rockhampton.
It includes Maryborough,
Hervey
Bay, Gympie,
Bundaberg, Agnes Waters and Seventeen Seventy.
In other words, it covers the so-called Fraser
Coast, and
is really handy if you are taking the coastal road up to north
Queensland.
Central
Queensland Map
This map covers the coast between Rockhampton in the south and Mackay
Region in the north.
It covers both the coastal
and inland areas
of Central
Queensland, and it also includes town maps, distance charts, tourist information,
national parks
and the central-Queensland part of the National
Trail. Great,
detailed resource.
If you are on your way
further north, have a look at
Mackay
and Whitsundays
This map covers the Mackay coast inlcluding Mackay and Airlie Beach
with Whitsunday islands.
It includes national
parks and other points
of interest.
It includes town maps
including Mackay street
index.
It is a great map to have if you visit or drive though Mackay Region.
North
Queensland
Map North
Queensland map - covers Cairns,
Townsville
and all other places north of Mackay
area, again
in great detail as all
HEMA maps.
It includes town maps,
national parks
and points of interest.
It also has tourist
information and distance
charts.
Townsville
and Surroundings
This is more than a map - it is Townsville
street directory, which is of course fully indexed and
covers the city centre as well as all inner and outer suburbs.
You don't really need a street index when travelling but this was the
only thing I found that does include a Townsville
street map.
Tropical North Queensland
Map This
is a new map that covers the whole area between Townsville in the
south
and Cooktown
in the north (and actually
even the area north of Cooktown,
to Lakefield
National Park),
including Cairns
and its
surroundings.
It includes GPS surveyed tracks, national
parks and Wet Tropics areas, and information on points of
interest.
Cairns
and Surroundings
This is an excellent Cairns
street map,
which covers the city
centre as well as inner and outer suburbs such as Northern Beaches,
Edmonton and even Gordonvale.
It also includes some areas outside the city, which include some great
places such as Barron
Gorge National
Park.
The map is fully indexed and is the best street map of Cairns that I
know of - I've had many over the years.
Cairns
to Cooktown Map This map
covers the area between Cairns
and Cooktown,
and includes
places like Kuranda,
Mareeba, Palm
Cove, Port
Douglas, Mossman,
Daintree rainforests and Cape
Tribulation, Bloomfield
Road and the Rossville
Bloomfield Road.
It includes national
parks, places
to camp, places of interest
and tourist information.
Cape York Map This map covers the
Cape York peninsula
and while
there are quite a few Cape York maps, I have tried them all and I can
say this one is the best.
It
covers the peninsula in great
detail,
has symbols for services
with
each town, township or roadhouse, and even has GPS coordinates.
This is the map I use to get around in Cape York and I am
confident to recommend it to you too.
Queensland Outback
Map The
outback
Queensland
map covers all of the
central
and western Queensland, again in great detail as
all HEMA maps do.
It includes outback national
parks, some of the best points
of interest,
some great touring routes
between outback towns; and even fuel
stations, places
to camp and GPS
grid - everything you need to safely venture into the outback!
Simpson
Desert Map
If you want to go even further in, and get even more adventurous,
behind the Queensland outback is the so-called eastern outback which
covers a lot of outback in South
Australia and includes some great four wheel driving country around Lake Eyre and the Central Australia Deserts
such as Strzelecki, Sturt Stony, Pedirka and Simpson Desert.
The
whole
area is as interesting as Cape York and a destination on its own.
The
"Red Centre" - Central Australia Map
And of course, north of the Central Australia Deserts is Australia's
Red Centre - the area most widely known as the heart of Australian
Outback and very popular with international visitors, mainly
because of Uluru
and Kata Tjuta
National Park.
But there is so much
more in the area around Alice Springs, such as Kings Canyon, MacDonnell
Ranges and Finke
Gorge. It is a great bushwalking and 4WDriving country
and here is a great map that covers it.
And if you like to visit
wine regions, here is the Wine Map:
Wine
Map of Queensland
This is a special interest map for wine lovers. But it also includes a whole Queensland map.
So you don't have to buy one more map for wine regions - you can use
the Queensland map for you travels, and then use the maps of different
wine regions that are included as you visit them.
Also included is some information
of the wine indusrty in Queensland, and some Queensland
wineries.
