Maps
Hi,
All the maps I have seen for Melbourne and Sydney seems to only cover the CBS in detail (down to street level) and have a high level map of surounding areas.
Can any one recommend a detailed map that covers the surrounding suburbs. i.e. like a Greater Manchester A-Z.
Cheers,
Martin

That is a really good web site especially when looking for areas to live and how fare away from things they are. thanks

www.aussiemove.com is a good site for general information and you can also get straat maps for different area.
We bought all our books and maps from Amazon.
Good luck

Re: Maps
Thanks all.
I want a paper based map (though the links are appreciated as some of them were really good). The Melways and Sydways seem to cover what I'm after, but can't seem to find any where that sells them in UK. To buy direct is $77 plus $75 postage!
I've had a look on Amazon and they only seem to have the flexi maps, which only cover high level and detailed CBD.
Must be something I can buy in UK?!?!?

Still can't decide where we want to go. More IT jobs in Sydney, but something just seems to appeal more about Melbourne at the moment.

Have you tried ebay (Oz)? You might get one that's only a couple of years old for a few dollars. You'd only be missing the most recently built roads/housing estates - depends if that's important to you I guess
