“Getting the message across” demands access to communication media. When small, independent groups wish to be heard their inability to mobilise conventional media can disallow any message being broadcast. Using the Web as a publishing medium has allowed these relatively small voices to disseminate their viewpoint, which might otherwise be impossible if only conventional media could be utilised. For publishing ‘small voice’ information that includes geographical information, Web 2.0 provides a conduit whereby ‘individual’ maps can readily be produced and made available, globally. The need to have skills and tools for paper or ‘conventional’ Web mapping production disappears. The message broadcaster becomes the cartographer. This paper explores the use of subversive cartographies in Australia. It begins by providing a historical overview about how maps have been used, historically, to illustrate aspects of dissent, focusing on Australian movements for nationhood, Republic Australia and environmental and social issues. Then it focusses on the use of maps produced and published via Web 2.0 to promote alternative viewpoints in contemporary Australia. Finally, it considers whether these maps do provide the Australian community with useful information that complements ‘mainstream’ Australian media resources.
