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

Bellingen rests in a verdant cradle, a place where the coastal plains begin their gentle ascent into the ancient rainforests of the Great Dividing Range. It lies 26.9 km south-west of Coffs Harbour, NSW (from Coffs Harbour, NSW: bearing 233°T), and is situated 11.6 km north-west of Urunga. The air here, especially in the mornings, carries a humid sweetness, a scent of damp earth and the unseen blossoms of the surrounding hinterland, a palpable breath from a land that breathes deeply. Emerald hills, stitched with the darker green of dense forests, rise and fall like a slumbering giant’s chest, their contours softened by a perpetual mist that often clings to the higher reaches, lending an ethereal quality to the landscape. The Bellinger River, a silver ribbon unspooling from the mountains, meanders through this rich tapestry, its banks fringed by towering eucalyptus and the vibrant splash of subtropical flora, a constant murmur accompanying the quiet unfolding of the day.
The story of Bellingen is deeply entwined with the fertile lands it inhabits and the waterway that sustains it. For millennia, this region was known to the Gumbaynggirr people, who understood its rhythms and resources, a heritage that subtly infuses the character of the place. Later, European settlers were drawn by the promise of rich agricultural soil, and for decades, dairy farming and timber milling formed the backbone of Bellingen’s economy, the echoes of tractors and chainsaws a memory etched into the landscape. Today, while these industries still hold a presence, a vibrant creative spirit has bloomed, drawing artists, artisans, and those seeking a more mindful existence, shaping Bellingen into a hub of alternative culture and organic living, its weekly markets a lively testament to this evolving identity, a place where the bounty of the land is shared with a quiet, communal joy.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Bellingen, 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 Bellingen, in the Bellingen Shire Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Bellingen includes the postcode (2454), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Bellingen Shire Council), with an ABS remoteness classification of Inner Regional 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 Bellingen is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
