Blank map of Australian states and territories

Australia is a good shape for a first blank map: a simple outline, few areas and room to write. With borders draws 11 administrative areas with no names, and this page puts it first. Outline only is the shape of the whole place without the inner lines. Each comes as a PNG, an SVG and a PDF.

Notes and figures on one page

Put the With borders PNG on a page and write a figure or a note for each of the 11 areas a report compares, each with a line to its shape in your layout tool. Eleven is small enough that every note fits on a single page, and the list further down this page gives the spelling of each name.

Slides and layouts

On a slide, the transparent PNG lets the deck's colour show through. Colour one area in your slide software to focus a talk on it and keep the rest pale. In Illustrator, Inkscape or Figma, the SVG gives each area its own shape, which suits a report cover, a team graphic or a poster. For a plain title slide, Outline only is enough.

Choosing a version

With borders is the political blank map of the Australian states and territories, and it is the version for labelling. Outline only is the shape alone, good for younger children learning what the country looks like. Take the PNG for slides and worksheets, the SVG for design tools and a PDF for A4 or Letter.

For colours, names or a title, the editable map of the Australian states and territories opens the same outline in the editor. The country also has its own blank map of Australia.
