The poster uses a colourful digital elevation model to show the topography of the Australian continent. Low land is shown in green, higher land is yellow and orange and the highest parts of the country appear red. The map also shows perennial and non-perennial lakes and rivers as well as the location of the highest point in Australia and Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre at below sea level. The surrounding 200 m and 1000 m seabed depths contours are shown against a grey background. An accompanying text box outlines the three main physical regions of the county: the western plateau, central lowlands and eastern highlands. The poster is designed to be printed at A1 size which is 1:7 000 000 scale.
