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.

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 Brawboy.
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.

Brawboy rests in a gentle cradle of the Upper Hunter, where the land begins its slow, patient rise towards the rugged escarpments. It lies 100.0 km south-south-west of Tamworth, NSW (from Tamworth, NSW: bearing 197°T), and is situated 25.8 km west-north-west of Scone. The earth here is a rich, loamy ochre, particularly after a rain, and the air carries the clean, sharp scent of eucalyptus and the fainter, sweeter perfume of wild mint crushed underfoot. Rolling hills, painted in a thousand shades of green and gold depending on the season, stretch to the horizon, punctuated by the darker, denser stands of timber that mark the wetter gullies. The sky above Brawboy is a vast, often brilliant canvas, particularly at dawn when the first light spills like warm honey over the eastern ridges, or at dusk, when the deepening blues are streaked with fiery oranges and soft lavenders. The rhythm of Brawboy is that of the land itself – a quiet persistence, a steady unfolding.
The history of Brawboy is etched not in grand monuments, but in the enduring pulse of the land and the resilient spirit of those who have worked it. This is country that has long sustained life, with evidence of ancient custodians who understood its rhythms intimately. Later, the pioneering settlers arrived, drawn by the promise of fertile soil and abundant grazing, establishing a legacy of sheep and cattle farming that continues to define the local economy. The landscape bears the gentle scars of this pastoral heritage: weathered fence lines that snake across the hills, the sturdy, unpretentious homesteads that have weathered generations, and the broad paddocks where livestock graze contentedly. While mining has ebbed and flowed in the broader Hunter region, Brawboy itself has largely maintained its character as a place tied to the land's bounty, a quiet corner where the focus remains on the turning of the seasons and the simple, honest work of cultivation and husbandry.

Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Brawboy, in the Upper Hunter Shire Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Brawboy includes the postcode (2337), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Upper Hunter Shire Council), with an ABS remoteness classification of Outer 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 Brawboy is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
