This map is a planimetric map that has has heads SPINNING. This is because this gets into the idea of power of maps and critical geography. Who says that we have to have Europe at the center of a map like it was in Medieval times? Who also says that we need to have the map oriented towards the North pole? It has been shown through history that nations wielded power by positioning themselves at the center of a map. This map finally gives Australia the upper hand!
