Explore Aberfoyle, New South Wales, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Aberfoyle, NSW 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 Aberfoyle, New South Wales, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views.

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 Aberfoyle.
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.

Aberfoyle sits in a fold of the New England Tablelands, where the land begins to soften its stony resolve and the air carries the crispness of altitude. It lies 42.2 km north-east of Armidale, NSW (from Armidale, NSW: bearing 46°T), and is situated 32.2 km east of Guyra. Rolling hills, cloaked in a patchwork of grazing pastures and stands of native eucalypt, define the immediate landscape, their slopes often softened by a gentle mist that clings to the hollows until the sun climbs higher. The colour of the earth here is a rich, warm ochre, especially after rain, and it seems to drink the light, giving the afternoons a honeyed glow. Small creeks, their banks fringed with tea-trees and wattles, thread through the valleys, their murmur a constant, quiet song beneath the rustle of wind through the grass.
The history of Aberfoyle is tied to the land's bounty, particularly its fertile soil that has long supported sheep and cattle grazing. Early settlers, drawn by the promise of a good living from the pastoral industry, established homesteads that have since become part of the district's enduring character. While not a mining town in the grander sense, the search for resources has played a subtle role, shaping the lives of some families and leaving traces of past endeavours in the undulating terrain. Today, Aberfoyle maintains a measured pace of life, its economy still rooted in agriculture, but with a growing appreciation for its scenic beauty attracting a steady stream of visitors seeking the quiet charm of rural New South Wales.

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 Aberfoyle is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
