Prints & charts

The book's diagrams, made for the wall

Every chart in Same Sky, Different Ground was drawn by hand for this coast — built from real elevation and geology, not clip art. Now the best twelve are print-ready files you can hang: in a classroom, an office, a field station, a shed wall, a hallway between the door and the boots.

They aren't decoration pretending to be science. Each one teaches something true about how this coast is put together — why rainforest sits on the range and wildflowers on bleached sand, how a dune holds a lake, where fire draws its line. Buy the file, print it at whatever size suits your wall, and read it every time you walk past.

The one to start with

If you buy a single chart, make it this one. It is the spine of the whole book.

The hero print

The Great Gradient

The whole coast in a single section — rainforest, gum forest, swamp, wallum, estuary and reef stacked down one slope, drawn from real elevation data. This is the picture the entire book hangs from: learn to read this and you can read the country.

The gradient & the land

How the coast is built and shaped — the profile of the land, the making of its soils, and the layered forest at the wet end of the slope.

A cross-section of the Sunshine Coast's landforms, from range through foothills and floodplain to sand and sea

Landforms in section

The shape of the coast in profile — range, foothills, floodplain, sand and sea. The bones the whole gradient rides on.

Diagram of how a wallum sand podzol forms over thousands of years, the sand column bleaching pale with age

How a sand podzol forms

How wallum sand builds itself into a podzol over thousands of years — the slow chemistry that bleaches the ground bone-white.

A$12AUDGet the file

Rainforest structure

The layered architecture of a rainforest — canopy, sub-canopy, understorey and floor, and how the light gives out on the way down.

A$12AUDGet the file

Water & coast

The wet edges of the country — where the tide sorts the estuary, where a swamp keeps its zones, how a dune holds a lake, and how the land runs on underwater.

Estuary zonation

Who stands where across an estuary — seagrass, mangrove and saltmarsh, each sorted by exactly how far the tide reaches.

Diagram of paperbark swamp and coastal wetland zones, from open water to the dry edge

Wetland zonation

The zones of a paperbark swamp and coastal wetland, laid out from open water to the dry edge.

Diagram showing how perched dune lakes and window dune lakes hold water within a sand mass

How the dune lakes work

How the coast's dune lakes hold water — perched lakes sitting on their own sealed floors, window lakes cut down into the watertable.

A$12AUDGet the file

Sea country

The near-shore in section — beach to boulder reef to open water, with the seagrass meadows in between. The land doesn't stop at the sand.

A$12AUDGet the file

Fire, deep time & the year

The forces that keep drawing and re-drawing the coast — the fire that fixes a boundary, the volcanoes that built the peaks, and the turning of the naturalist's year.

How fire draws the boundary

How fire holds the hard line between eucalypt forest and rainforest — one of the sharpest, most telling boundaries on the coast.

A$12AUDGet the file

The volcanic hotspot track

The hotspot that built the Glass House Mountains and the hinterland peaks — a line of old volcanoes left behind as the continent drifted north over it.

Geological cross-section through Mount Ninderry showing its internal structure

Mount Ninderry cross-section

A geological cross-section through Mount Ninderry — the inner bones of a single hinterland peak, cut open.

The Reader's Year

The four seasons of the coast drawn as a wheel — what flowers, arrives and spawns, and when. A naturalist's calendar for the wall.

Why buy the file when the website is free?

Resolution. The web images are small and soft — fine on a phone, mush on a wall. These files are built at true print resolution, so the fine labels and hairlines stay sharp at A3.
Print size & licence. A screenshot is licensed for looking at, not for printing and displaying. Buying the file gives you a clean, high-resolution copy licensed for personal and classroom use — hang it, teach from it, print a class set.
It's the honest version. These are the author's own diagrams, drawn from real elevation and geology — not stock art. The file is the thing as it was meant to be seen.
It keeps the lights on. The website and its companion book are a one-person project, priced to cover the cost of making them and no more. A few dollars for a chart is what keeps the free site free.

Every sheet carries a small footer with the book title, this site and the ISBN — so a chart on a wall is also a quiet pointer back to the book it came from. Charts are © Daniel Addington and sold for personal and classroom use; they are not licensed for resale or redistribution.
