Explore Far Meadow, New South Wales, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Far Meadow, 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 Far Meadow, New South Wales, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.

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 Far Meadow.
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.

Far Meadow unfolds as a landscape of gentle slopes, where the rich, alluvial soil, a deep, loamy brown, yields generously to the sky. It lies 47.6 km south-south-west of Wollongong, NSW (from Wollongong, NSW: bearing 201°T), and is situated 10.4 km north-east of Nowra. The air here carries the sweet, earthy scent of damp earth and the fainter, sharper tang of distant gum leaves, a constant reminder of the surrounding bushland that presses in, a soft, green tide against the cultivated fields. In the late afternoon, the light softens, laying a honeyed glaze over the grazing paddocks, turning the blades of grass into burnished gold and casting long, languid shadows that stretch and blur the edges of the world. The character of Far Meadow is one of quiet persistence, a place where the land dictates the pace, and the days unfurl with a predictable, comforting rhythm.
The history of Far Meadow is intrinsically linked to the fertile river flats that define its geography, lands first shaped by the traditional custodians and later settled by European farmers drawn to the promise of sustenance. For generations, the local economy has been built upon the back of agriculture, with prime cattle grazing and the cultivation of lucerne and other fodder crops forming the backbone of its prosperity. While the land has seen its share of cycles, the enduring appeal of Far Meadow lies in its unpretentious connection to the earth, a heritage that continues to inform the lives of its residents. A few scattering of older, weatherboard homes, their verandahs worn smooth by time and the elements, stand as quiet witnesses to the decades of hard work and quiet lives lived out under the vast Shoalhaven sky.

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 Far Meadow is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
