Hi;
There are two paper versions available, one by Hema Maps, a Australian
commercial map publisher, and one by Interarts, an American commercial map
publisher. The Hema one is about $7 and the Interarts one is about $10.
The Interarts one is a little more colorful. we stock them both.

Vassilis and Jon:
I remember cataloging just such a map while at the Univ. of Georgia several
years ago, around 1990. I did a search on the CIC's Virtual Electronic
Library on the title "Down under map of the world" and guess what...there
it was! The Univ. of Ill.-Champaign also has a copy!
The title is the same as in the above paragraph. Other info:
ISBN 0731900758
Scale 1:45,900,000
Published by Universal Press Pty. Ltd. in 1989, the company is in Sydney
Available, or used to be, from MapLink?? (Erno, Melissa's got your
catalogs, I'm in a different building on campus so I can't verify this.
Help??)
Perhaps others can help with more specific info., like the
address/phone/fax of Universal Press Pty.?

Hi, Vassilis,
I don't know whether you can find it on the Web, but maybe you could
make a deal with somebody in Chicago to pick one up at the Rand McNally
store on Michigan Avenue and mail it to you. I bought 8 of them at that
store in June, 1996, and successfully surprised a bunch of my geographer
friends last Christmas! ;-)
