“Stuart McArthur drew his first South-up map when he was 12 years old. At age 15, after being tormented for coming from the ”bottom of the world,” Stuart resolved to one day publish a map with Australia at the top. Six years later, while at Melbourne University, he produced the world’s first ”modern” south-up map and launched it on Australia day in 1979.”
