On one side is a route map from Sydney to Brisbane showing as far west as Moree and Goondiwindi, together with city plans of Brisbane, Sydney, as well as the town plans of Tuncurry, Forster, Grafton, Coffs Harbour and Port Macquarie. On the reverse side are maps of Summerland and the Pacific Beautizone and partial town plans maps of Southport, Surfers Paradise, Broadbeach, Palm Beach, Burleigh Heads, Currumbin, Coolangatta and Bilinga.
