Australia's Mapppa Mundi

There are also options for $45.00 per image in Tiff or Jpeg format
$50.00+ for photographic prints or custom reproductions

NRK, are you expecting the large format copy to be in B & W.
What do you think a custom reproduction would consist of?

The Large format Photocopy is colour and according to the "More Information" page, the original is 143cm x 143cm, I have no idea what a custom reproduction would be but I'm sure that if you went to "Contact Us" on the menu you could ask them directly, also if you go to This Link you can actually print the map yourself and if you know someone with a large format printer you could print it at what ever size you want.

Fred,
the copy i saw was about 60 cm w x 80cms and he said that even an unframed one would cost $ 75 if he could even get one, so i think that 147 x 147 is going to cost a lot more than $16.50. That's why i found the order website confusing.
Can you let me know what you actually get?

Min,
That would be great.... then you could let us all know what the go is...
Recieved confirmation email for my order, but could be 10 days before I get it.
regards

yes Min, i'd liketo know what the story is if you go to the NLA.
I presume it's in Canberra.

On the NLA site, I searched "H E C Robinson" and there seems to be a book that he wrote covering exploratory sea journeys (as well as land).
The NLA site (orders) is confusing and just bogs down. Maybe direct contact with the staff is an easier way to get a copy of the map.

Thanks Fred - just ordered 3 copies for myself

Hi Fred,
Goodness knows what size we'll end up getting because it seems to be a bit conflicting. The lady said it would not be full size (143x143 is big!) but I understood it may come as more than one sheet. Whatever, it will be great to have.
Min

Great work. Fred.
In order to be on the same page as you, because you seem to be getting the goods, can you tell me exactly what you ordered on the website.
Do I take it that they send it in a tube?

The ordering site is terrible - contrast it with Amazon.

I can't even get it to load properly.

Gooday werewasi,
click on the order link at top of page
click continue

You should have this on screen:

Click - proceed to order details
Under "Order", select the dropdown menu "I would like" and select "large format photocopy"
In special instructions place: Do not fold, post in tube please.... It should show a cost of $16.50

Then click on declaration of use and follow instructions.

When you get to the payment, an you click to pay.... DO NOT WORRY if the web site just goes into never never land or outer space.... DO NOT CLICK BACK

Wait for the page to finish.... this could take some time
If it comes up with error... try again later... DO NOT CLOSE THE PAGE
Just let it sit..... Check your emails.... In approx 20 min you should recieve an email confirming your order (even though the site said it failed)
Once you have your email, you can exit the web site....

Have fun
regards

Thanks for that
You are the repository of a lot of knowledge.

I seem to recalll that you recently posted guff on the gearbox used in the new Ford Ranger and it's relationship tp the Mustang box.
There was a US site which had about a year's posts on it by disgruntled Mustang owners but more contributions were barred.
Have you any info on just where the rectification programme is at now.

and if you have the post no. that would be appreciated because i couldn't pick it up searching. It may even have been in relation to a BT50 and not the ranger. I'd like to read it again.

Sorry,
know nothing on that score...

regards

Didn't think to ask "do not fold" - just assumed they wouldn't ..... will wait & see

PS - it was delivered in a tube, not folded

You talked earlier abouta $16.50 copy which i suspect would only be A4 sized.
Was the one you got about $50.00? When you say "paper" do you mean poster card?

No the one I got was $16.50 and no it's not poster card it is really paper, probably the same as what you would print a house plan on in weight
