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 Dilkoon, 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 Dilkoon.
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.

Dilkoon rests against the generous curves of the Clarence River, a place where the land breathes a slow, verdant exhalation. It lies 90.8 km north of Coffs Harbour, NSW (from Coffs Harbour, NSW: bearing 351°T), and is situated 12.5 km west-south-west of Lawrence. Rolling hills, softened by the passage of seasons, slope down to the water's edge, their flanks a patchwork of emerald pastures and darker, more secretive pockets of bushland. The air here carries a sweet, damp scent, a blend of eucalyptus and river mud, and in the late afternoon, the sunlight takes on a molten quality, gilding the tops of the gum trees and painting long, lazy shadows across the paddocks. The river itself, a broad, silken ribbon, winds its way through the landscape, its surface often reflecting the vast, pale blue of the Australian sky.
The story of Dilkoon is written in the rich alluvial soil, a legacy of the river that has sustained life here for generations. Once a vital hub for the timber trade, with towering hardwoods felled and floated downstream, the economy has since shifted, finding its footing in the gentle rhythm of cattle grazing and increasingly, in the quiet allure of tourism. Artefacts from its industrious past can still be glimpsed, weathered timbers near the old jetties or the faint outline of a long-gone tramway cutting through the undergrowth, whispers of a time when the river was the highway and Dilkoon's fortunes were tied to its powerful flow. Today, the pace is considerably more measured, a contemplative existence where the loudest sounds are often the calls of native birds and the distant lowing of cattle, a subtle reminder of the enduring connection between the people and the generous earth of Dilkoon.

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