Historic Australian atlas series now online
27 February 2008
Geoscience Australia is re-releasing a range of atlases that depict the changing face of the Australian environment and resources over time. First released between 1980-1990, this historical series has been out of print for several years.
The new digital format will allow community access to the extensive information, maps and photographs of the Australian continent that each atlas contains.
The Atlas of Australia series comprises six volumes, four of which are now available free online, with the two remaining volumes (Climate and Population) to be made available in the future.
The available volumes are: Soils & Land Use (1980), Agriculture (1982), Geology & Minerals (1988) and Vegetation (1990).
