This is a good website with material that is useful to consider.
I found a GIF on the Web showing the 1829 creation of the Swan river colony, and then its 1831 change to Western Australia, which is missing from this page and the GIF.
It would be good to update your page with that info if it is valid.

Dear Rob,
My name is Mark Allen and I'm working with my father on a book project entitled: "Reef Fishes of the East Indies". I came across your website after searching for images of maps of the East Indies region as I intend to use an old style map on the cover of the book. I was delighted to find the reproduction of the Wyld East Indies Isles & Australia (1819) map on your site and would be extremely grateful if you would agree to allow us to use your digital scan of this map in our project. We would be happy to pay a reproduction fee for the use of your scan. Please reply to let us know if you would be happy to negotiate this.
We will be happy to provide a high res pdf or jpg of the final cover design for your approval and display on your website (if you wish) and also to acknowledge your assistance in the introductory section of the book.
Looking forward to your reply,
Mark & Gerry Allen

Fantastic site Ron! Do you have any information on why the NT was called Alexandraland? I have several maps with this label but can't find out anything through google.
Thanks

This website is great and should be used in schools to help with the teaching of Australian history.
