Weigel & Schneider's map of Oceania and the Pacific was a popular depiction and format of the region for many german mapmakers. Their map shows the tracts of James Cook 1st, 2nd, and 3rd voyages, Byron and other explorers voyages.

Australian is shown connected to Tasmania as was believed until Bass and Flinders' circumnavigation of the island in 1798. The map is updated until 1796 with the noticabe updates relevant to Australia being the inclusion of Rose Hill and Paramatta inserted between the Carmarthen Mountains and Pyramid Hill (Tooley 1985).
