You'll never see the world in the same way again. 

Who says it has to be North? This stunning and unusual Upside Down World map offers an alternative view of the world, undoubtedly one that Aussies and Kiwis might prefer. It also quite dramatically illustrates how the world might have been mapped had ‘civilization’ as we know it, begun within Australia or New Zealand.

For those wondering why ‘traditional’ world maps show Europe appearing above the rest of the world, this convention was born when the earliest European navigators began using both the North Star and the magnetic compass in order to aid navigation. Therefore, it was seen as logical that the world should be mapped with North placed at the top and it’s a convention that has endured throughout the centuries since.

Break tradition and challenge your notions of geography with this great map of the world.
