Uncover a piece of history with this 1901 map of Brisbane Waters, showcasing the early contours of Gosford, Kincumber, Broken Bay and the iconic NSW coastline. This isn’t just a map — it’s a piece of art that tells a story of how the Central Coast began to take shape. From the meandering waterways to the scattered townships, it reveals the original lines of a landscape that’s now a bustling, modern destination.
The details are striking: coastal inlets, early roads, and the unmistakable patterns of nature, all captured in intricate, hand-drawn lines. What makes this map truly special is its ability to anchor your space in both history and design. It’s a nod to the region's past, but also a statement piece that blends effortlessly with modern interiors.
For lovers of both cartography and coastal lifestyle, this print offers something different — a visual conversation starter that evokes both nostalgia and a forward-thinking appreciation of the land.
Fun fact: Kincumber, now known for its easy access to the beach, was originally famous for its dense swamps? The area, once home to thick wetlands, was a favourite spot for local birdwatchers back in the early 1900s.
