HanoiVillan Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I take it, judging from that map, that Darwin is closer to Jakarta than it is to Brisbane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Rev Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Yes, by 100km or so, but the map makes it look more (to my eye at least) because of the projection. Jakarta is also closer than Perth, but Perth is closer than Brisbane. Outposts are weird, for example Vladivostok is closer to Darwin than it is to Moscow.

MrDuck Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) Darwin should be kept as far away from the rest of humanity as it's possible to get. Edited June 4, 2019 by MrDuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never realised there was an island to the north of it. God knows what could eat you there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 It uses the same trackbed as the Met so it's impossible without ruining it. It should look like the Circle really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoony Posted June 13, 2019 Share Posted June 13, 2019 Perhaps you chaps can help me out. I’m looking to buy a framed (or buy to then be framed) a map of either Roman Britain or Roman London as a gift. I’m actually struggling to find much online. Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance! How large? If it's A3 / A4 then you might be able to just use this one below. I ask because you're unlikely to find much detail in 'genuine' roman maps of London, if such things exist. This is a free to use Victorian reproduction on Mapco does it have to be roman or did you just want an olde worlde mappe? National Library Scotland has a good (if complicated) data base if it's just old and quirky you're after. or... fold out map from MOLA Edited June 13, 2019 by chrisp65 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking for Roman in particular as this guy is all about the Romans. Will see if I can get the above printed A3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 ...and to go very slightly off topic, just a few yards down the road in the Market, there's a great stall that sells every conceivable flag. I picked up Barbados and Ukraine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
