Brief Description
Fold-out map - MELBOURNE TO and FRO - produced by Broadbent's as an Olympic Special Souvenir for the Melbourne Olympic Games. The main map of Melbourne and suburbs is accompanied by an A-Z Index. The reverse features nine maps including outer suburban areas such as the Mornington Peninsula and the Dandenongs. One of the many commercials depicts two runners on the road to Melbourne at night: one is carrying an Olympic Torch, and one a "Mazda Lamps" light globe.
