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 Duns Creek, 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 Duns Creek.
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.

Duns Creek breathes a quiet existence under a wide, often brilliant sky, where rolling hills, softened by a cloak of eucalyptus and wattles, meet the rich alluvial flats. It lies 17.2 km north-east of Maitland, NSW (from Maitland, NSW: bearing 35°T), and is situated 11.9 km north-east of Bolwarra Heights. The air here carries the scent of damp earth after rain, a subtle perfume mingling with the distant, sweet aroma of flowering gorse that spills over fence lines like golden waterfalls. Broad-leafed scribbly gums stand sentinel, their bark a canvas of intricate, winding patterns, while closer to the creek itself, the land dips and rises, offering glimpses of the water glinting through the trees, a shy ribbon of silver reflecting the boundless blue. This is country that feels both enduring and gentle, a place where the contours of the land speak of slow, patient shaping by wind and water, and where the occasional flash of a kingfisher’s wing adds a sudden, sharp punctuation to the prevailing peace.
Historically, Duns Creek has been a place of quiet industry, its fertile land a draw for those seeking to cultivate the soil and raise livestock. The creek itself, a vital artery, has always been central to its story, providing lifeblood for grazing and agriculture for generations. While the larger centres nearby have seen more dramatic shifts, Duns Creek has maintained a steady character, its economy rooted in the land, with a focus on farming and the sale of local produce. Small holdings dot the landscape, each a testament to the enduring connection between people and the earth, and the quiet hum of tractors and the lowing of cattle are the familiar sounds that mark the passage of days. The community, though not large, possesses a deep sense of place, a quiet pride in the enduring beauty and the honest work that defines Duns Creek.

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 Duns Creek is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
