Step into a chapter of Australian travel history with this captivating vintage map: “Sydney to Mount Kosciuszko in Sunshine via South Coast & Princes Highway – Tour to Melbourne, conducted by Balmain Bros. (Bega) Ltd.” Published by Enemark Ltd., around 1927.
What you’re holding (or what you’re about to hang) is more than a map—it’s a visual journey: from Sydney’s urban edge, winding down the rugged South Coast, through the farmlands of NSW, up into the alpine peaks of Mount Kosciuszko.
Every detail of the map—the coastal towns, the touring route, the typography and lithographic charm—speaks of a time when the road trip was newly possible and Australia’s landscapes were full of promise.
For history‑lovers, vintage cartography enthusiasts, or anyone drawn to the romance of travel and exploration, this print brings an elegant story to your wall. Display it framed to let its fine lines and heritage feel shine—or let it live in a study or library where it becomes a conversation piece.
Suggested styling:
-
Framed in natural timber for a warm, timeless look.
-
Pair with mid‑century furniture, matte white walls or a textured feature wall.
-
Works beautifully in homes, offices, or boutique interiors with a nod to legacy and place.
Fun fact: The promotional map was part of early motor‑tour culture in Australia, with Balmain Bros. using it to showcase the scenic route to the Snowy region as much as the destination.
