Upside Down World Map
The convention of North being up only really applies on Earth. If you were in a spaceship approaching the Earth from the south pole then this map is what it might look like. (If you ignore changes due to the projection of the map).
You can buy this map from his website. It includes an inset, which shows global views from various angles. In addition, other inset maps show examples of a variety of projections with notes on their merits and limitations.
Of course here in the UK, we are used to joking about Australian (and New Zealand) things being upside down, so you could show this as a "genuine Australian map!!".
Be sure to click the Whats behind the Map link as the page there has a fascinating set of other maps and projections.
