Explore Arncliffe, New South Wales, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Arncliffe, 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 Arncliffe, 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 Arncliffe.
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.

Arncliffe unfurls as a verdant expanse, a gentle ripple of land where the urban edge softens into a quietude of suburban living. It lies 3.0 km south-south-west of Marrickville, NSW (from Marrickville, NSW: bearing 192°T), and is situated 9.7 km south-west of Sydney. The streets here are lined with mature trees, their canopies forming leafy tunnels that filter the bright Australian sun, casting shifting patterns onto neat front gardens overflowing with hibiscus and bougainvillea. The air, especially in the early mornings, carries a faint, damp scent of earth and dew-kissed grass, a subtle reminder of the porous ground beneath the manicured lawns. Beyond the residential streets, the terrain slopes downwards towards the Cooks River, its banks a mosaic of reeds and scattered gum trees, a vital artery breathing life into the surrounding landscape. The quality of light here, particularly as the afternoon wanes, possesses a remarkable clarity, etching the edges of rooftops and the silhouette of distant hills with a sharp, almost crystalline definition.
Arncliffe's story is one of gradual settlement, a history etched not in grand pronouncements but in the steady expansion of homes and families. Originally part of the traditional lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation, the area began to be formally recognised and developed in the latter half of the 19th century, its accessibility improving with the advent of railways. The local economy, once more tied to agriculture and market gardens that supplied the burgeoning Sydney metropolis, has largely transitioned to a service-based model, with residents commuting to employment hubs across the city. However, echoes of its past remain in the names of streets and the enduring presence of older, solid brick homes that speak of a different era. The Bicentennial Park, a significant green lung along the river, offers a testament to the council's commitment to preserving natural spaces, providing a popular destination for recreation and a haven for local birdlife, a quiet counterpoint to the surrounding urban hum.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Arncliffe, New South Wales. 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 Arncliffe, in the Bayside Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Arncliffe includes the postcode (2205), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Bayside Council), 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 Arncliffe is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
