Queensland Map Collection
On this page
you can pick the Queensland
Map
that suits your needs.
At the planning stage, a Google map is handy.
You can zoom it in as much as you want, by double-clicking anywhere on the map or click on + and - signs.
You can drag the map to move around, and if you want to see the satellite image with Google Earth, click on "Sat" in the top right hand corner.
(But do scroll further down to the selection of HEMA maps!)

As handy as Google maps are, unfortunately you cannot take one with you to read off-line...
Once on the roads, the best map you can possibly have is one by HEMA.
Their maps are really detailed, mark every single thing, even cattle stations etc.., and better than anything, include even phone numbers, right on the map (on more remote area maps anyway, like Cape York map).
They also have icons of services in townships, so you know if there is fuel, a place to camp, other accommodation, or a place to eat or a shop... this is really handy.
HEMA maps are the only ones I use and I am on the road often.

Queensland Outback Map
The outback Queensland map covers all of the central and western Queensland, again in great detail as all HEMA maps do.
It includes outback national parks, some of the best points of interest, some great touring routes between outback towns; and even fuel stations, places to camp and GPS grid - everything you need to safely venture into the outback!
Simpson Desert Map
If you want to go even further in, and get even more adventurous, behind the Queensland outback is the so-called eastern outback which covers a lot of outback in South Australia and includes some great four wheel driving country around Lake Eyre and the Central Australia Deserts such as Strzelecki, Sturt Stony, Pedirka and Simpson Desert. The whole area is as interesting as Cape York and a destination on its own.
The "Red Centre" - Central Australia Map
And of course, north of the Central Australia Deserts is Australia's Red Centre - the area most widely known as the heart of Australian Outback and very popular with international visitors, mainly because of Uluru and Kata Tjuta National Park. But there is so much more in the area around Alice Springs, such as Kings Canyon, MacDonnell Ranges and Finke Gorge. It is a great bushwalking and 4WDriving country and here is a great map that covers it.
And if you like to visit wine regions, here is the Wine Map:
Wine Map of Queensland
This is a special interest map for wine lovers. But it also includes a whole Queensland map. So you don't have to buy one more map for wine regions - you can use the Queensland map for you travels, and then use the maps of different wine regions that are included as you visit them.
Also included is some information of the wine indusrty in Queensland, and some Queensland wineries.
And finally - here is the Map of the whole Queensland
