First Impressions
This map of Australia grabbed my attention the minute I saw it! I was wanting something of a decent size that I could attach to the outside of our new camper and mark off where we have been on our travels, and this map looked to show a lot of the major towns and some of the smaller ones too. Interesting decals always makes for great conversation at the camp site, or on the road! At $29.95AUD I thought it is a steal for a decent decal that lives up to its advertised features!
How I Tested
When I received the map in a tube, I unrolled it and laid it flat under some magazines for a few days until I was ready to apply it to our camper. I prepped the area cleaning it with pure alcohol and a dry cloth. Working out where I wanted to position it, I pulled back one of the corners to stick to the van. Then with a steel ruler I continued to peel off the backing paper as I used the ruler to run across the front of the sticker adhering it smoothly to the wall surface. Once happy with the application I gently rubbed over it with a soft cloth to make sure there were no air bubbles behind the sticker, and all the edges were stuck down.
We then added coloured dots with permanent markers to the towns we have stopped at in our travels from our first big road trip a few years ago from QLD to NT and back, and then used a different colour to map our 2nd big trip in 2021 to Birdsville QLD for the Big Red Bash. So far the texta marks have remained, and the sticker is holding strong, with it being exposed to both sunshine and rain!
PS: There is a video on the website with directions how to apply... but I never watched it as I have applied decals in the past so was confident in my abilites :)
Pros and Cons
I know for me some of the issues with Decals is that they either never stick properly, or they get air bubbles underneath that you can't massage out, and sometimes when you use a pin to prick the air bubble, it then leaves tiny white spots where the tiny hole is. You can never tell the quality from online pics, so real reviews and word of mouth is all you can go by.
Pros:
+ Made in Australia
+ Nice smooth and thick vinyl decal (for the outside)
+ Easy to apply
+ Looks good
+ Stays adhered in the weather
Cons:
- Have not found any cons to this Map of Australia (other than it doesn't show EVERY TOWN on the map), but for that it might have to be 3 times the size!
The Final Score
So I love this decal so far. We will be doing a 2 week road trip over Easter covering 3 States, so this will give me more of an idea on how well it holds up to the weather and being on a travelling camper!
My score for the Map of Australia Sticker - UV Outdoors OR Fabric is a 9/10. I dropped the 1 point at this stage until we come back from our roadtrip, because that will be the better test for durability. Other than that I cannot fault it!
