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 Barellan, 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 Barellan.
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.

Barellan rests on a wide, flat plain, where the sky feels immeasurably vast and the horizon stretches in an unbroken line, broken only by the occasional stand of hardy mallee scrub or the distant, hazy shimmer of heat rising from the earth. It lies 52.6 km east of Griffith, NSW (from Griffith, NSW: bearing 80°T), and is situated 29.1 km west-north-west of Ardlethan. The land here is a rich, ochre-red loam, a fertile skin stretched taut over a landscape that breathes with the slow, steady pulse of the seasons. In the late afternoon, the sun dips low, casting long, elongated shadows that bleed across the paddocks, painting the dry grasses in hues of burnished gold and deep rust. The air, especially after a rare rain, carries a clean, earthy scent, a reminder of the deep roots that hold this country together.
The story of Barellan is written in the golden wave of wheat that has long defined its economy, a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of those who coaxed sustenance from this seemingly austere earth. For generations, the lifeblood of Barellan has flowed from the grain silos that stand like stoic sentinels against the immense sky, a visual marker of the harvest and the hard work it represents. This agricultural heritage, deeply ingrained in the character of the place, has shaped a community that values practicality and perseverance. While the land yields its bounty through the cultivation of crops, the quiet industry of grazing also threads through the surrounding country, with sheep and cattle dotting the landscape like punctuation marks on a long sentence. The town itself, a cluster of essential services and homes, moves with a gentle, unassuming rhythm, a place where neighbourly connections are as vital as the rainfall.

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