Australian maps 1930s now on line

[Petan]

National Library of Australia has started to put 1930s maps on line. It may be of interest to those designing routes for that era.

Sorry Ron but it is only view on line. Click on the map you want and after it loads look for the menu choice for zoom in and out. Pan up or down or sideways buttons are on the edges on the maps.

Ipswich is there as are the lines out towards Lowood, Marburg, Boonah, the various Redbank loop coal field lines as well as the Mt Crosby extension of the Tivoli Branch as well.

The Brisbane one also includes the Belmont Tramway, out towards Dayboro and the quarry line from Rocklea to the quarry near Archerfield aerodrome.

According to the site, you can right-click then 'save as' the inages for personal use. You can also order the complete high-res images, it looks like the cost is A$35-45

Nice find - it would be interesting to see some more period Aus routes

That download site I use and identified on Railpage has the 1977 ones for around Kingston to Beenleigh. If lost, see the link in one of my early posts in the Beaudesert thread. If really lost, use my email that you used the other day.

This is your first forum post and welcome!

G,Day everyone

I have done a bit of looking around and found a website that has a page of old railway maps of Queensland. There are many there dating to 1888, 1909. 1939, 1956 and that's all I can remember. Here is the url http://www.google.com.au/imgres?imgurl=http://www.pennymead.com/images/WINMP0091.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.pennymead.com/results.php%3Fct%3D4%26sub%3D162%26m%3Ds&usg=__eZCT3mmiLXZkGMRH03jxeCZ2dnE=&h=778&w=600&sz=152&hl=en&start=5&zoom=1&tbnid=X5NXrpdTGU-HIM:&tbnh=142&tbnw=110&ei=Ftq-UNnUM6fDigLAzIHgCQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3DRailway%2Bmap%2Bof%2BQueensland%2B1909%26hl%3Den%26gbv%3D2%26tbm%3Disch&itbs=1

It seems that there's one Queensland map only and that's centered around Brisbane.

Merry Christmas From Brisbane!

G, Day all and Merry Christmas

@Falcon500, I am sorry if I posted the wrong site. I will try again as I remember there were about 6 QR track plan map's dating from 1890 to 1960. They had Railway's in operation and under construction.

-Cheers all and enjoy the rest of Christmas Day 2012!
