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.

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 Bendalong.
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.

Bendalong rests on a stretch of coastline where the land gently slopes towards the Tasman Sea, a place where the air carries the constant murmur of the ocean and the scent of salt spray. It lies 89.0 km south-east of Goulburn, NSW (from Goulburn, NSW: bearing 128°T), and is situated 14.4 km north-north-east of Ulladulla. The landscape here is a harmonious blend of low coastal dunes, cloaked in hardy, wind-sculpted vegetation, and pockets of coastal heath, vibrant with wildflowers in season. To the west, the terrain rises subtly, giving way to grazing pastures and the scattered eucalyptus forests that define the inland reaches of the Shoalhaven. The beaches themselves are a defining feature, long arcs of pale sand meeting the restless, turquoise water, their character shifting from sheltered coves to more exposed stretches that welcome the rolling surf. The light here, especially in the late afternoon, can possess a luminous quality, casting a warm, golden hue over the dunes and the gentle swell of the sea.
The history of Bendalong is intrinsically tied to the sea and the land that sustains it. For generations, this coastline has been a place of sustenance and passage, its traditional custodians holding a deep connection to the rhythms of the ocean and the terrestrial bounty. The establishment of European settlement brought with it a focus on grazing and agriculture, the fertile coastal plains supporting dairy herds and the cultivation of various crops, a heritage still visible in the patchwork of paddocks bordering the town. More recently, tourism has become a significant thread in the local economy, drawing visitors to its renowned surf breaks and the tranquil beauty of its beaches. The nearby waters, rich with marine life, have long supported a modest but dedicated fishing fleet, their colourful boats a familiar sight in the small harbours. Bendalong maintains a palpable sense of unhurried life, a place where the day unfolds at the pace of the tides and the changing seasons, a quiet counterpoint to the bustling cities further afield.

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