The map remains copyright to AIATSIS. We can not provide the underlying GIS (Geospatial) data.

Aboriginal Studies Press reserves the right to refuse permission to reproduce the map in print in order to ensure the high production values of the original are not compromised. Note that because the map is a large-scale print publication, reproducing it at a small scale means that much of the information will not be legible. In addition, the map is produced as a high-quality printed product and ASP will need to assure itself that any print reproduction undertaken will produce a high-quality product.
