Explore Amaroo, New South Wales, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Amaroo, 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 Amaroo, New South Wales, 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 New South Wales or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Amaroo 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 Amaroo.
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.

Amaroo unfolds across a landscape of gently rolling plains, where the rich, ochre-red earth stretches towards a horizon defined by the subtle, hazy blue of distant hills. It lies 17.7 km north-west of Orange, NSW (from Orange, NSW: bearing 305°T), and is situated 5.4 km south-south-east of Molong. Here, the sky feels immense, a vast canvas that shifts from the pale, washed-out blue of morning to a molten gold as the sun begins its slow descent, casting long, languid shadows across the sparse but hardy vegetation. The air carries a dry, clean scent, mingled with the faint, sweet perfume of eucalyptus and the earthy aroma of sun-baked soil. It is a place where the silence is not empty but alive, punctuated by the calls of unseen birds and the whisper of the wind through the dry grasses, a quiet testament to the enduring spirit of the land.
The character of Amaroo is deeply entwined with its pastoral heritage, a history etched into the very fabric of its existence through generations of sheep and cattle grazing that still form the backbone of its local economy. This is a land that has known the steady toil of farmers, their lives dictated by the seasons and the capricious nature of the Australian climate. While not a hub of bustling industry, Amaroo holds a quiet pride in its self-sufficiency and the strong bonds that tie its residents together, a sense of community fostered by shared experiences and a mutual understanding of the challenges and rewards of life in this part of the country. The wide, open spaces here speak of a freedom, a connection to the elemental forces that shape life and livelihoods in this sun-drenched corner of 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 Amaroo is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
