The cartography department of the Australia WikiProject aims to assemble a collection of high-quality maps for use in Australia articles; both through obtaining existing public domain or free-license maps, and by creating new ones as needed.

[edit] Requests

• Wynn Vale, South Australia and Golden Grove, South Australia Jasrocks ^Talk 09:04, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

• A map of Sydney Harbour with Sydney's ferry routes drawn on it (and all wharves included), for the purposes of the Sydney Ferries article. Given the Parramatta River is quite long, I don't know quite how this would work, but if anyone could give it a try that would be great. (JROBBO 05:03, 20 October 2006 (UTC))

• Is there a way of making the Australian cities locator map a little clearer? Particularly in the case of Melbourne, it's difficult to see the red dot. Would a location in the state-type image for the infobox be difficult to do? Leon 00:40, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

1. Diliff (talk • contribs). Would like to see more SVG maps of Australia and its States. Am interested in tracing some maps from Google Earth or something along those lines, although it is pretty time consuming. Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 11:29, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
