Gregory's brand

The Gregory's brand originated in 1934 when Cecil Gregory produced the first Gregory's street directory with hand-drawn maps. We've come a long way since then and now all maps are drawn on computer.

The Gregory's range has expanded to cover maps , guide books (a growing range covering travel, fishing, 4WD, gardening and other leisure pursuits), atlases and automotive repair manuals.

Gregory's is a division of Universal Press, Australia's largest mapping company.
