The biplanes of Bert Hinkler and Sir Ross Smith and Sir Keith Smith are illustrated flying into Australia from the northwest.
The map includes an interesting inset of the Australian coast separated into areas discovered by Cook and those discovered by Tasman - no mention there of Willem Janszoon, Dirk Hartog, Matthew Flinders...
Date based on the last dates that are shown on the historical chronologies present on this and other maps from the series.
