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

It lies 76.0 km south of Robina, QLD (from Robina, QLD: bearing 171°T), and is situated 11.3 km north-north-west of Ballina. The land here is a patchwork of emerald pastures, punctuated by stands of mature eucalyptus, their silver-green leaves rustling a perpetual whisper against the vast, often startlingly blue sky. Waterways, humble but vital, meander through the terrain, their banks fringed with native grasses and the occasional flash of a kingfisher's iridescent blue. The character of Brooklet is one of quiet industriousness, a place where the land dictates the pace, and the horizon stretches out, unburdened.
The history of Brooklet is intertwined with the agricultural bounty of the region, a legacy of dairy farming and grazing that has shaped its identity for generations. Beyond the dairy herds, the rich soil has supported a diversity of crops, and the local economy continues to draw strength from these connections to the land, with a growing appreciation for local produce and artisanal goods. Travellers passing through Brooklet might notice the unhurried way life unfolds, a stark contrast to the frenetic energy of larger centres, and might find themselves drawn to the simple beauty of the rolling hills bathed in the soft, buttery light of late afternoon. The subtle hum of tractors in the distance and the distant bleating of sheep are the prevailing sounds, a gentle symphony of rural life.

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