The blank map of Australia is a printable political map that draws the borders of the six states and two mainland territories, in black and white with no names on them, sized for A4 and printing on US Letter. Download it free as a PDF or a JPEG, either as the blank version with borders or as a plain outline map of Australia with the coastline only.

Because the map is unlabeled, it works as a base for practice: students fill in the states, their capitals, the rivers and the deserts themselves, and teachers use the same sheet for map quizzes, homework and coloring at school. It pairs well with our Australia map worksheets, and with the labeled political map of Australia when you need the names for reference.

Australia is both a country and a continent, so this map doubles as the continent sheet. For the wider region and its neighbours, browse the other blank continent maps.

The image below shows the printable blank map of Australia with state and territory borders as well as marked cities and towns (unlabeled).

A blank outline map of Australia with states, territories, and their borders plus city and town markers.

Australia Blank Maps Bundle and More

The blank map and the outline map are free. The bundle adds more versions of the same map:

Blank map of Australia
Outline map of Australia
Blank map of Australia with seas and oceans
Blank map of Australia with capitals
Blank Australia map with cities and towns
Labeled Australia map for reference

The bundle includes PDF and JPEG versions of all maps.

The two free downloads are the blank map, which draws the borders between the states and territories, and the outline map, which has the outer outline only. The capital, city and town markers are part of the bundle: dots placed on the map without any names, so the sheet still works as an exercise rather than an answer key.

The blank map with seas and oceans includes the Pacific, Southern and Indian Oceans as well as the Timor, Tasman and Coral Seas.

The 6 States and 2 Territories of Australia and Their Capitals

Australia is divided into six states and two mainland territories, and every one of them has its own capital, from Sydney on the east coast to Perth on the west.

State or territory	Capital
New South Wales	Sydney
Victoria	Melbourne
Queensland	Brisbane
Western Australia	Perth
South Australia	Adelaide
Tasmania	Hobart
Australian Capital Territory	Canberra
Northern Territory	Darwin

Canberra, in the Australian Capital Territory, is also the national capital, which surprises people who expect Sydney or Melbourne.

About Australia's States and Geography

Australia covers about 7.7 million square kilometres, which makes it the sixth largest country in the world and the only one that is also a continent in its own right, yet it holds only around 27 million people, most of them on the eastern and southern coasts. Its highest point is Mount Kosciuszko at 2,228 metres in the Snowy Mountains, and its lowest is Kati Thanda, Lake Eyre, some 15 metres below sea level. The Murray is the longest river at roughly 2,500 kilometres, the Great Dividing Range runs down the entire eastern side, Uluru sits near the centre of the Northern Territory, and the Great Barrier Reef stretches along the Queensland coast for more than 2,000 kilometres. Those are the features students are usually asked to place, which is why an unlabeled base map is more useful for practice than a finished one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to the questions people ask most about the free blank map of Australia.

How many states and territories does Australia have?

Australia has six states and two mainland territories, eight in total. Each has its own capital, and Canberra in the Australian Capital Territory is the national capital.

Is Australia a country or a continent?

Both. Australia is the only country that is also a continent, which is why the same blank map is used for country work and for continent work in the classroom.

What is the difference between the blank map and the outline map?

The blank map is a political map: it draws the borders between the states and territories but names none of them. The outline map has no internal borders at all, just the coastline and the shape of the continent.

Is the blank map of Australia free to download?

Yes, the blank map and the outline map are free in PDF and JPEG, with no sign-up. The bundle with the marker and seas versions is a small one-off price.

What Can I Do with a Blank Map?

Blank maps are a great way to visualize geography, get a feel for regions and borders, and see how places relate to one another. They also bring presentations, travel journals, and creative projects to life by giving you a clear, flexible canvas to work with.

Maybe you’re a teacher planning your next lesson or preparing homework assignments. Maybe you’re a parent putting together practice materials at home. Or you’re a student preparing for an exam or working on a school project. Perhaps you’re a globetrotter writing down your travel memories or dreaming up your next adventure. In all these cases, a blank map is surprisingly versatile and can be used in many different ways.

In class, students can color blank maps and label countries, capitals, mountains, rivers, or oceans. They can illustrate shifting borders and historical events, making subjects like geography and history easier to grasp.

Blank maps are also excellent for creating tests and worksheets. From simple labeling exercises to detailed quizzes, they can be adapted to a wide variety of content. On a blank map of Europe, for example, students can mark mountain ranges like the Alps and the Pyrenees, as well as the continent’s major rivers. Or, in history class, they can mark the borders before and after World War I. In English class, an outline map can be used to show all the English-speaking countries of the world. Current events are also easy to track by shading in countries or specific regions.

Blank maps are helpful for presentations, homework, or exam prep. Combined with labeled maps, they make effective geography quizzes and reinforce knowledge through coloring and labeling.

With a little creativity, globetrotters can quickly transform blank maps into personalized travel journals. Mark the places you’ve been, trace your routes, and jot down a special memory for each destination. Print a second map and use it as a bucket list for everywhere you still want to see.

They’re also useful outside the classroom. In a business presentation, they can be used to show sales territories, office locations, or planned expansions. You can also print blank maps in a large format and hang them on the wall. With pins, stickers, labels, or photos, they can be personalized to display a wide range of content.

For any purpose, WMB Maps provides a wide selection of blank maps designed to help you achieve your learning or creative goals.
