Travel Maps

Flexi Map Sydney is a laminated, tear-resistant map which has 3 separate maps, each one accompanied by its own index. It includes a list - with descriptions and some photographs - of 26 recommended sights, divided by theme and linked to the mapping by numbered markers. There is also a handy information section with concise details on getting around, tourist offices, money, tipping, opening times, public holidays, telecommunications, emergency telephone numbers and climate. The main map is of the central districts of the city, shown at a scale of 1:12 500 (1cm = 0.125km). Public buildings, hotels and other places of interest are clearly marked and listed under separate headings on the extensive index. The city's Metro network is shown on this map and stations are named. A diagram of Sydney's CityRail network is located on the back cover for easy reference. The Sydney Area map, located on the reverse, shows the city and its suburbs at a scale of 1:120 000 (1cm = 1.2km). Sydney Environs is shown at a scale of 1:700 000 (1cm = 7km).
Each map has its own index, which has been categorised for ease of use, and highlights place of interest such as National Parks, beaches and recreational facilities.
