[QUOTE="loamer, post: 36766, member: 981"] Vic maps? National Library of Australia - Trove - set the default to 'online'. You can download the maps or use the snipping tool. I have mine printed on a plotter (biggest size - some slight pixulation (if that is in fact a word). Also, Vic DPI has them but I think you may have to buy the old parish series. (1 :32,000 I think). I have the set and bought the ones I wanted printed off. Also, try the State Library of Victoria. For geo and topos, they are free to download - once again through the DPI site. the old maps take some work translating across to newer maps. probably other states are covered but I haven't bothered. It is great fun making your own maps and I spend a lot of time walking and driving and doing map alterations, updates etc. Most are now on my laptop which is robust enough but I carry it in a pelican case just to be on the safe side. I can cross-reference to 1:25 000 which whilst are as not as detailed as say John Tullys maps for gold, they do have the topo data that is so valuable. for example, old report may say 'head of gully' or 'small runs from side gullies' - these can only be seen on a topo map.
