I grew up in Penriff below the ridge. And then moved up above the ridge to the Blue mountains. Now I'm back down below the mountain on the coast again. I love both!
Very cool. Loved those old relief maps. Thanks for sharing.
There's also a 3D map of Sydney on the cover of Midnight Oil's Red Sails in the Sunset album
I have one of those vacuum formed maps of the San Francisco Bay area. Very handy for showing people things. I believe I purchased it at an actual Rand McNally store in SF.
Got an uncle who lives in Woy Woy.....just north of Sydney.....I'll get there one day!
Woy Woy! God's ante room! 😁 Spike Milligan's mum lived there
Pretty nice part of the world
Thank you for your information

@@johncoops6897 The original post I replied was modified. I recall him mocking young people to not know where is this quote from, that's why I replied that.
@@PainterVierax - Ahhhh, that makes more sense. I worked for 4 years in that industrial area, and I still have the catchcry stuck in my head.
We also have a mountain called Mount. Wilson here in Southern California. It also seems that the Sidney area/region is of similar geographic size to the "L.A. Basin" and surrounding municipalities.
Too cool!
We have the Blue Mountains here in Oregon too. Confuses me every time you mention them 😁
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?
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 did find this fascinating. Maybe you can do some more along these lines! To wit: I have always been curious about what are the long-distance Australian highways. I assume most follow the coast but that )and anything similar to this) would be of great interest. I have some old friends from days in England who live in Woolgoolga NSW and others in Victoria and Margaret River, WA so "one day" I hope will make the first trip to your fair continent, but will have to cover a ~fair distance~ to see everyone(!).Thanks for the Sydney overview!
fascinating!
This is really cool! Now I want something like that from my area. The relief could probably be 3D-printed, but how do you get the map on top of that?
@EEVblog2 Do you have a pilots license Dave? Never told us that! Cool!
Pro Tip: You don't need a pilots license to fly a plane.
@@EEVblog2 what how huh?
@@Sal3600 How do you think people learn to fly?
@@EEVblog2 *taps nose.
@@EEVblog2 Nah, no sweat, sure you can *nervously hover hands lightly touching the yoke* with an pilot sitting beside you, guess that still counts as flying! Cheers Dave you wild-eyed maverik you!
Great thanks. How many KMs is that pointing pen.
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.
This was really useful. Though I have been to Sydney and the Blue Mountains I didn't realise how big it was. When people say Sydney floods my brain thinks around Sydney Harbour.. this so was much clear. It has been a long time ago, how far is Sydney to the Blue Mountains are we looking about 2 hours
Note that the "centre" of Sydney is the CBD, very close to the east side, and "western sydney" really does start jsut slightly west of the CBD. Marrickville is "inner west" {eyeroll}. I've met people whove never been west of the CBD except when they flew out.
Funny because it's true.
Would not call Marrickville Inner West, but then I live in Ultimo.
You know, they are people born and raised in Paris (France) who've never taken the metropolitan or the bus to go outside the "petite ceinture", even to go to the rich western suburbs.
@@laptop006 for you "inner west" starts at Redfern? ;-P
It's almost scary talking to (some) eastern suburbs kids who think Sydney University is in the wild western part of the city. And then for me living just west of Blacktown "the city" is Paramatta because the CBD is an hour away by train. Haven't been in there for over a year.
Botany Bay? KHAAAAAANNNN!
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.
Wow Dave it's funny I never twigged you as a Sydney Sider, somehow I has always imagined you as down Melbourne way, sorry stupid blonde me, anyhow so cool to see this map and for you to mention places i used to live, yeah I ran little internet cafe in Bankstown 2001-2 and my uncle lived in Pennant Hills, back then didn’t drive so it was trains and walk everywhere boy I can vouch for how big Sydney is and yes the are some hilly bits too.
Cool map.
Will it work on Aduino...
50k. Hold my Ipa. Seattle metro area is the same size. . Really cool map.
How many times did you say Sydney?
...... What's this pin up here Chief ?
That's holding the map up Max ! !
You know the map is old when it's missing the M5, M7 M2, and Homebush lol
They don’t makem like that anymore
Yeah, sucks that they don't make these anymore as you can tell a lot is missing, especially in the western outskirts around the campbelltown, Liverpool and Penrith areas. Here in this map Camden is almost a seperate town which it used to be considered a small town but now it's just another part of Sydney with all the development that has reached it
Thanks for showing your habitat.
I come from China. I know maybe some Australian don't welcome Chinese anymore. But I think CCP or our government or our fellow Chinese are different concepts. I like Australia very much. The theatre and bridge of Sydney are very impressed. But the most surprised thing is the northern territory. It's really huge. The driving experience is very unique and unforgettable.
I live in Sydney (Belmore) and I found this interesting
Where do the Yowies live?
There's a third way to the Blue Mountains from Sydney; by train to Katomba Station.
I have a 3D map like that of Dallas / Fort Worth. It's a flat piece of paper. The closest hills are probably around Possum Kingdom Lake. (Yes, that's a real place.)
I work in Luxembourg. The whole country would more or less fit in the Sydney area. Wow. facts.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/Luxembourg-Map.jpg
Have you seen any dingoes in Australia?

Dave, you forgot to point out where Skippy lived and where Home and Away is located :D Sweet map by the way, haven't seen one of those since I was in school many years ago.
Hey Mum, I can see our house form here!
Since you mentioned Wollongong and flying: What about a trip to the HARS museum for EEVdiscover? I could bet they got a lot of interesting stuff to show. :)
HARS is great.
In comparison Calgary, Alberta, Canada is less than half the square kilometers (~5,100km²) and one fifth the population (~1,200,000).

Do the coast of Sidney live of fishing? What kind of fish do you get?
IN actual Sydney Harbour, Bream, Flathead, Kingfish, Whiting, Tailor, Salmon, Trevally, Snapper, Shark....and others
I'm not really a fisherman, so perhaps others will advise you better, but NSW Fisheries have an identification chart:
www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/fishing/fish-species
Tons of fishing. Both ocean and harbour are really great for fishing.
Dave lives in the Nether-Regios
As a Yankee who is ignorant about Australian geography it's interesting to learn how diverse the geography is even in the general Sydney area. Another thing that still amazes me is how big Australia actually is. The Mercator projection really messed up with my perception and makes Australia seem small when it isn't!
Yeah, it's big however most of the middle of it is empty
USA 9.8 million km² and 330 million people
AUS 7.7 million km² but only 25 million people
What we don't have is the large towns and cities across the whole place, like in USA.
(populations quoted are just approximate)
Why don't you do a 3D artistic rendition of the map using salvaged electronic components.
Imagine one made using SMD resistors, capacitors etc. the colour differentials of the components would look pretty cool.
Wollongong Wooo...
Can't believe you just called me a rich bastard ..
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.
Have you any recomendations? I want to see Crystal Palace in London.
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. I’m actually from Denmark, and I remember we had two of these maps at my junior school. One was of Europe, and I think it was designed to show how small and insignificant Denmark is. The other was of Denmark, which is a very very flat place. I think the highest point is maybe 1k above sea level. So that map was singularly unexciting and a waste of good 3D...
Scale is 1:200.000
"20k is about 11 odd cm"
Are you sure you're an engineer?
The map is wrong.
Here is the hand scale... and then, later on, brings out the pen.
Who needs Google Earth Pro when we've got Dave-Globe-Pro. Is the height of the relief actually to scale?
I thought the thumbnail was a 200,000:1 scale drone shaped like a hand above real Sidney.
Disappointed that you didn't point out Porpoise Spit Muriel!
so where's the pumped hydro on the map?
Pumped hydro? What's that supposed to mean?
@@johncoops6897 It is a system where extra electricity at night is used to pump water up behind a dam so that the dam can generate power during the day. It's like a big battery. There is a debate in Australia about this one pumped hydro project.
@@LaserFur - I know what a "Pumped Hydro" system is. The government is encouraging private hydro projects, so there are various "dreams" to attract investors.
I don't think there is any current hydro schemes in Sydney. Since land values start at about $4million per acre, I doubt very much that anyone would put such a scheme in the Sydney metropolitan region.
So what (specifically) is this "this one pumped hydro project" that you refer to?
@@johncoops6897 There is Snowy Mountains Hydro-Electric Scheme. and a planed Snowy 2.0. I don't know where they are. When he scrolled down south of Sydney there was a strange lake by the coast and I was wondering if that was pumped hydro.
@@LaserFur - Ahhhh, now I understand! Dave's map is of a small section that surrounds Sydney, however the Snowy Mountain Scheme is a long distance away from that map's boundaries.
The region is in the South East corner of the state of New South Wales, about 350km (220 miles) to the South West. It's inside the national park with the highest mountains, near where the snowfields are located.
It's the ideal location for a pumped hydro as they will use 2 of the existing hydro dams for storage, and the power infrastructure is already in place.

@@AndrewSkow1 - YOU are the idiot, mate. Considering that we are all in the same situation, it was a very dumb comment. You made it sound like you were unique.
Here’s an interesting fact: Relief maps, and globes with relief, are greatly exaggerated. If the earth was shrunk down, to the size of a billiard ball, it would actually be smoother than a billiard ball. This even accounts for the tallest mountains, and deepest parts of the oceans.
Edit: I stand corrected. I went by bad information, that even Neil deGrasse Tyson believed and Tweeted.
Define greatly exaggerated.
1:25 The peak of the Blue Mountains should be 0.5 cm high using the map's scale. It doesn't look much higher.
Okurka - I stand corrected. See my original post. This was bad information from 2008, still being passed around, that has since been debunked. I don’t feel too bad, because even Neil deGrasse Tyson tweeted it as fact. Thank you for making me research my own claim. I’d rather be proven wrong, than repeat false information. I can swear that I’ve heard it recently, though, which means that it’s still being told. If you google “How smooth is the earth”, the first result will make the billiard ball claim. The second result debunks it. Have a great weekend! 😃
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.
Bloody Rich Bastards!!lol

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. Then we showed them a European map superimposed over NSW or QLD and they could see how small all of Western Europe is even compared to one state in Australia (all will fit inside NSW)
20km = ~12.5mi
50km = ~31mi

EEVBlog... Electronics Engineering BLOG.. Lately more focussed on other things than Electronics:-(
Ton O This is not the main channel. On this channel the content can be anything between antennas and earth.
@@bsvenss2 You are right... However, my observation remains valid for the main channel.... Just posted it on the wrong one.
@@tono_01 Last three videos: Oscilloscope trick, PCB analysis, repair. Not electronics? Sure Jan.
@@EEVblog2 As far as I see, the focus of the channel has shifted from pure electronics to "electronics related". Dumpster dives and oscilloscope reviews are nice, but I really miss the times where you dive into a topic and took your pens and white board and explained things that were going to be used within a "project we're going to build".
I, as an amateur, could actually learn a whole lot from one or more of those episode. Currently, it's just a video I'm watching..
I hope you can see it as positive criticism, just my 2 cents as a viewer.
