The Unmapped Land is a 1943 Australian verse drama play for radio by Elisabeth Lambert. It was entered in a verse drama competition and did not win but was purchased and produced by the ABC.[2]
According to ABC Weekly the play "tells the story of three women who represent three points of view in the modern world, and the effect that a war has on them and on the people with whom they come in contact."[3]
It was Lambert's first play for radio. She followed it with Storm's Abatement.[4][5] This launched her writing career.[6]
