A decorative map of Australia divided into its States, just after Queensland's borders were declared, with keys to the counties. Details shown include the "Stony Desert" in South Australia, and the point furthest into the interior reached by Sturt. A nascent railway line can be seen from Sydney to Paramatta. The whole is enclosed in an elaborate interlace border.
