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 Goodooga, 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 Goodooga.
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.

Goodooga rests on a landscape of wide, flat plains, where the earth stretches out to meet a sky that often feels impossibly vast. It lies 350.0 km north-north-west of Dubbo, NSW (from Dubbo, NSW: bearing 340°T), and is situated 50.8 km west of Lightning Ridge. The country here is a mosaic of dry grasses and hardy shrubs, punctuated by the stark silhouettes of scattered gum trees, their branches reaching like gnarled fingers towards the sun. The air, especially in the late afternoon, can carry a dry, warm scent, a blend of dust and the faint perfume of native flora, and the light itself seems to hold a unique quality, softening the edges of the world as day surrenders to twilight.
The story of Goodooga is tied to the pastoral industry, a legacy etched into the very character of the place. For generations, sheep and cattle have been the lifeblood of this district, their grazing shaping the land and the lives of those who call it home. This quiet corner of the Brewarrina Shire, though modest, has seen its share of travellers and settlers, each adding a thread to the fabric of its existence. The rhythm of life in Goodooga is dictated by the seasons and the needs of the land, a steady, unhurried pulse that resonates through its few, enduring buildings and the open spaces that surround them.

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