Thanks for your email, and this note, but I don't understand what the problem is. Is it the whole article or just the map. The copyright for this map is through the PD-New Zealand section to which it conforms. I would be very grateful to you for any advice you can give me regarding his map. Regards

Sorry the map relies on PD-Australia as Keogh published in 1955 I thought it was ok?

The book's text and illustrations are all still copyright protected : artworks made in Australia by a person who died after 1 January 1955 (which we should assume here) are under copyright for 70 years after the death of the author. If it was created by an Australian government or its agents, copyright would expire 50 years after creation - that would place the whole book in the public domain. But it appears to have been created by a private individual, not a government. You can download the full Australian copyright document from http://www.copyright.org.au/pdf/acc/infosheets_pdf/g023.pdf . It has a clear table showing the rules.
