The Sydney "Blue Mountains" are named due to a very blue coloured haze, which increases in vividness at farther distances. This is very apparent on clear sunny days and creates a unique and slightly mystical effect. Are the Oregon mountains named because of a similar phenomena?
My recollection of geology is that the Sydney Basin starts up in the Hunter Valley (for those not familiar with this, it's North of Sydney and roughly west of Newcastle) And it is basin shaped - consider the coal under Sydney - it comes to the surface around Wollongong (south of Sydney), Lithgow (west of Sydney) and Newcastle (north of Sydney). There was, long ago, an underground coal mine at Balmain (walking distance west of & within sight of the Harbour Bridge) I suspect that the term first appeared in geology and later became common usage (where it's range is as Dave described it)
The Sydney basin may have been a sort of hydrological term first... the hawkesbury sandstone was found to go under the Hunter and Upper Hunter and south down past Wollongong etc so the “Sydney basin” got extended out to there but it was basically all the same basin all the way up into the Bowen Basin in Queensland it just got jogged and juggled around by the great dividing range, the volcanics etc etc. I am currently working on a mine in the Upper Hunter which is currently in the same strata as where I used to live in Sydney there were mostly only coaly wisps in the rocks there though here the seem(s) is a ~10m thick together (it has partings in places) and has layers of anthracite I would love to stick in my forge at home.
Love the map! Hopefully they’ll make one in 2026 so we get to see how much Sydney has developed since. A lot of the basin areas are already built up with houses
I consider Sydney to be bounded by Nepean and Hawkesbury Rivers, with an imaginary line drawn between Garie Beach and where the Main South rail line crosses the Nepean River.

Not much call for physical maps that expensive to print when you can get on a free computer program or app and fiddle with the vertical exaggeration to your heart’s content. The blue mountains area is a bit more impressive if you realise it has been getting ground down for about 150 million years (with some uplift and volcanoes and stuff adding a bit of height back some times) Does the vertical exaggeration on that map increase as you go east? I don’t remember the coast down south being quite that precipitous.
Sirus that would require a heck of a lot more of a digital elevation model than I was thinking of google earth has a spectacularly high resolution DTM in London compared with what you could get even a decade ago but that area appears to be from fly overs and not official wireframes like in a lot of places (check out Paris, the Giza plateau or Mt Rushmore (the cars look epic where there was something of a different size there when the fly over was done. Without a wireframe obviously nothing which is shaded vertically will show up in the model. To be fair though those models are only up to a few m across I doubt anything less than 300m across would show up on Dave’s map. On the browser version of google maps I don’t know how to change the vertical exaggeration (you can in google earth pro). I was actually thinking of ArcMap (ESRI.com) and ArcGlobe where you can find a digital terrain model and imagery which suits you from ESRI’s archives or the free to access government datasets. You can look at wireframes (though I don’t know where you would get them) in ArcGIS pro (which you can get for a small monthly or yearly fee if you promise not to use it for commercial purposes if you are into mapping etc it is well worth it as ArcGIS pro is incredibly powerful and you can pick one payed toolset to use every month if you want. If you want a completely free version and you are a into a bit of coding QGIS is pretty good but it haven’t used it for much 3D stuff and I don’t remember how it handles vertical exaggeration/ wireframes.
LYW mate. I’ve been to Sydney once when I was one of those rich bastards, although I lived in tokyo at the time.

Gotta admit the road design is 1000% better in the Melbourne CBD, a nice and even grid, lets just hope the guy who made the roads in Sydneys CBD doesn't design PCB's!.. Spaghetti that would become!
That's because Melbourne is basically flat. In Sydney there are rivers and hills everywhere, so the roads generally follow the ridges. It's the original infrastructure from 1700-1800's that we got stuck with. Mind you, the main CBD is a grid.... only the surroundings have the curvy roads. Most people in SYdney would prefer the curves to a grid anyway.
I live in Sydney and work for a Germany company. Funny story, we were talking about delivery times for our products. In Europe it's always within 1 day. So they assumed Australia is like that. Until we gave them a "Strewth mate, the road train delivery from Rocky to the customer at Mt Isa is a 3000km round trip, that ain't happening in 1 day!". The reality is it's a 10,000km milk run delivering to a number of outback customers and takes a week.
