Australia on the map Foreword The Australia on the map books have been written in cooperation with the Australia on the Map Committee to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the first recorded European discovery of Australia. They explore the arrival of Australia’s first inhabitants before the disappearance of the land bridges and acknowledge the achievements of the many explorers and mariners from different European nations. Each book is divided into four sections, with curriculum-linked activities from the learning areas of English and Society and Environment.
