The 1950s Avoca Locality Plan captures Avoca and its surrounding Central Coast region at a moment when the area was beginning to develop as both a residential and recreational destination. The map spans from Gosford to Broken Bay, including Tuggerah Lake, nearby waterways, roads, and emerging townships, offering a detailed view of the landscape, coastlines, and connections that shaped the region.

Designed with mid-century clarity, the plan highlights the relationship between land and water — the river systems, lakes, and coastline — showing how communities were laid out in harmony with the natural environment. Roads linking Avoca to neighboring towns, holiday cottages along the foreshore, and early subdivision patterns reveal a region on the cusp of growth, long before modern urban sprawl.

More than a map, it’s a historical snapshot: a record of how Melburnians and Sydneysiders might have explored the Central Coast, or how locals planned settlements, farms, and access to the bays, lakes, and beaches that define the area today.

Fun Fact: Tuggerah Lake, shown on the map, was once a hub for small-scale fishing and boating, connecting coastal communities long before the highway system made travel to Sydney or Newcastle easier.

This vintage map of Bathurst circa 1911 offers a detailed snapshot of one of Australia’s oldest inland cities at a time of confidence and growth. Carefully charting streets, rail lines and surrounding land, it presents Bathurst as a substantial regional centre well before it became synonymous with motorsport.

In the early twentieth century, Bathurst was a key hub for agriculture, education and administration in New South Wales. Its broad streets and orderly layout, clearly shown on this map, reflect the city’s importance and ambition, shaped by the gold rush decades earlier and sustained by its role as a gateway to the Central West. The map captures Bathurst before modern expansion, revealing a city defined by careful planning and strong civic identity.

Fun fact: In 1911, Mount Panorama was still farmland and bush — it wouldn’t be used as a motor racing circuit for another two decades.

This vintage map print presents Gosford circa 1887, capturing the township at an early moment in its development, just two years after it was formally gazetted. Centered on the waterfront settlement, the map records the emerging street layout and land divisions that defined Gosford’s initial relationship with Brisbane Water.

Produced during a formative period, the map reflects a town still taking shape, with development closely tied to the harbour’s edge rather than extensive inland expansion. Its measured scope highlights the practical concerns of a young settlement: access, allotment, and orientation to the water.

Quiet and historically grounded, this map offers a restrained record of Gosford’s beginnings. It suits interiors that value regional history, early Australian town planning, and cartography that documents place through structure and geography rather than decoration.

Fun fact: Gosford takes its name from Archibald Acheson, the 2nd Earl of Gosford, who served as Governor General of British North America — despite never setting foot in Australia.

This original 1885 survey map print of Narooma captures the quiet beginnings of one of the South Coast’s most loved towns, known at the time as Noorooma — a detail retained on the map itself. With its hand-drawn lines, natural ageing, and raw paper texture, it’s a genuine piece of local history — unpolished, honest, and beautifully detailed.

The map shows the early layout of the area: land allotments, waterways, and survey markings that trace how the town first took shape. No added colours, no modern editing — just the real thing, exactly as it was recorded more than a century ago.

This piece works quietly in a space. It’s for those who appreciate a slower aesthetic — something grounded, with a sense of place. Whether it reminds you of holidays, family ties, or simply your love for Australian coastal towns, this print brings that connection home.

Printed with care on archival paper that honours the integrity of the original, it’s ideal for considered interiors — layered, personal, and thoughtfully curated.
