Explore Ngunnawal, Australian Capital Territory, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Ngunnawal, ACT map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Ngunnawal, Australian Capital Territory, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Australian Capital Territory or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Ngunnawal and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Ngunnawal.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Ngunnawal is a locality in the Australian Capital Territory, Australia. It has a population of 10,957. The locality covers an area of 4.2 km², giving a population density of about 2633.9 people per km². It sits at an elevation of around 637 m above sea level.

Ngunnawal unfolds across a landscape of gentle, sun-baked slopes, where hardy native grasses carpet the terrain and scattered eucalypts, their bark a mosaic of grey and white, punctuate the horizon. It lies 73.7 km south-west of Goulburn, NSW (from Goulburn, NSW: bearing 230°T), and is situated 5.3 km west-north-west of Harrison. The air here carries a dry, clean scent, tinged with the resinous perfume of the gum trees, especially potent in the late afternoon when the sun dips low, casting long, hazy shadows that soften the contours of the land. The character of Ngunnawal is one of quiet resilience, a place where the expansive sky seems to press down on the earth, and the distant hum of Canberra is a faint murmur against the rustle of leaves and the occasional call of a kookaburra. Even in the settled suburbs, the wildness of the surrounding country feels close, a constant reminder of the ancient rhythms of this part of the continent.
The history of Ngunnawal is intrinsically tied to the broader development of the Australian Capital Territory, a carefully planned precinct emerging from the fertile agricultural lands that once dominated this region. Before Canberra’s establishment, this area was part of the traditional country of Indigenous peoples, and echoes of that deep connection can still be felt in the enduring spirit of the land. The local economy, while now largely residential, retains a connection to its pastoral past, with remnants of farming and grazing operations visible in the topography and the enduring presence of livestock on neighbouring properties. Ngunnawal's distinctive character lies in its suburban embrace of the natural world, a deliberate design choice that integrates parklands and natural corridors, allowing residents to experience the changing colours of the seasons and the subtle shifts in light that mark the passage of time.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Ngunnawal, Australian Capital Territory. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Ngunnawal.
Detailed location data for Ngunnawal includes the postcode (2913), telephone area code (02), with an ABS remoteness classification of Major Cities of Australia. These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Ngunnawal is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
