Hello, I recently discovered this group via Twitter. I'm based in Melbourne, Australia and I'm the producer of an illustrated map of Melbourne. The map was first published in 1990 using 7,500 photos taken from hot air balloons, helicopters, tops of city buildings and the ground. This was all before digital cameras. The map was very popular and made its way into tens of thousands of homes and businesses locally, interstate and overseas.
Melbourne has experienced incredible changes in the past 27 years and is now considered The World's Most Liveable City. For the past 3 years we have been researching then hand drawing Melbourne all over again in meticulous detail. There is more information about the project on our website: www.themelbournemap.com.au We will publish The Melbourne Map 2.0 later in 2017, firstly as a print, then later as a jigsaw puzzle and game.

I am excited to check out all the maps, and their makers in this group, and learn from your experiences.
I am not sure yet how to upload a photo of our map, I'll try and work that out and post sometime soon.
Please contact me if you have any questions about our Melbourne Map.

Cheers
Mel
