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

Corlette rests on the southern shores of Port Stephens, a place where the land gently slopes towards the shimmering, sheltered waters. It lies 36.9 km north-east of Newcastle, NSW (from Newcastle, NSW: bearing 54°T), and is situated 2.4 km west-north-west of Nelson Bay. The air here carries the clean, briny tang of the sea, a constant companion to the rustling of gum leaves and the distant cries of gulls. The terrain is a soft undulation of low hills, carpeted in a mix of native bushland and manicured gardens, with the occasional glimpse of a tiled roof peeking through the verdant canopy. The light, particularly in the late afternoon, bathes the landscape in a warm, honeyed glow, softening the edges of the coastal scrub and casting long shadows across the quiet streets. The character of Corlette is one of gentle repose, a place where the rhythm of life seems to slow to the cadence of the tide.
The history of this stretch of coast is deeply intertwined with the traditional custodians of the land, whose connection to these waterways and forests predates European settlement by millennia. Later, the area was shaped by the timber cutters and fishermen who were drawn to the abundant resources of the bay, their early efforts laying the groundwork for the burgeoning tourism that defines Corlette today. The local economy, while still acknowledging its maritime roots, now thrives on the steady influx of visitors drawn to the pristine beaches and the allure of the harbour. The distinctive character of Corlette is amplified by its proximity to the larger centres of Nelson Bay, offering a tranquil counterpoint to the bustling activity found just a short drive away, yet retaining its own quiet charm and a strong sense of local identity.

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