Description
Douglas-Aspley National Park is the central feature of the DOUGLAS RIVER map. Containing deep river gorges and waterfalls, dry eucalypt forests and heathlands, and overlooked by a dolerite capped plateau, the Park is a refuge for many rare and endangered species.
The historic town of Fingal, in the northern corner of the map, was first established as a convict station, and later distinguished as the headquarters of the State’s coal mining industry.
The picturesque holiday and fishing town of Bicheno lies on the coast, being famous for its sandy beaches, turquoise waters and distinctive lichen-covered granite boulders.
Each map covers a 30 x 40 kilometre area with a 1 kilometre grid based on the Map Grid of Australia (MGA94) which utilises the Geocentric Datum of Australia 1994 (GDA94). At this scale, 1 millimetre on the map represents 50 metres on the ground.
