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 Charlotte Pass, 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 Charlotte Pass.
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.

Charlotte Pass is a high-altitude village cradled by the immense, rugged beauty of the Australian Alps. It lies 134.1 km east-south-east of Wodonga, VIC (from Wodonga, VIC: bearing 105°T), and is situated 24.0 km west of Jindabyne. Here, the air bites with a crispness that speaks of elevation, and the landscape unfolds in a breathtaking panorama of granite peaks, windswept ridges, and alpine meadows that, in summer, bloom with a surprising fragility of colour. The terrain is stark, often bare of dense forest at this height, revealing the raw, ancient bones of the land. In winter, the entire scene transforms into a hushed, white world, the silence broken only by the sigh of the wind or the distant rumble of an avalanche. The sky here feels immense, a vast canvas of ever-changing blues and greys, and the light at dawn and dusk paints the snow-dusted slopes in hues of rose and gold, a fleeting, ethereal spectacle.
The history of Charlotte Pass is inextricably linked to the quest for Australia's highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko, and the pioneering spirit that drove exploration in these formidable mountains. This alpine outpost has long served as a gateway for adventurers and nature lovers seeking to experience the grandeur of the Snowy Mountains. While modern infrastructure has made access easier, the character of Charlotte Pass retains a sense of its wilder origins. Its economy, though modest, is sustained by the seasonal influx of skiers and hikers, a testament to the enduring allure of this alpine environment. There's a quiet resilience here, a deep connection to the natural world that shapes the lives of those who call Charlotte Pass home, a place where the sheer scale of the mountains dwarfs human endeavour and reminds one of the enduring power of nature.

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 Charlotte Pass is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
