It look to me that Ken and I are scanning from the same map.

Mine is a large folded single sheet map about 1500 x 1200 "drawn and
published at the Survey Office, Department of Public Lands" and at a
scale of 30 chains to the inch. Folded with cover it was priced at 7s
6d (75c)

Yellow roads are council bus routes, private bus routes were indicated
by a broken yellow line.
