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 Hill Top.
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.

Hill Top is a place where the sky seems to stretch an infinite, pale blue over a landscape of rolling country, a gentle swell of earth that rises and falls in broad, sweeping strokes. It lies 163.1 km east of Wodonga, VIC (from Wodonga, VIC: bearing 99°T), and is situated 14.4 km north-north-east of Jindabyne. Here, the air carries the clean, crisp scent of distant eucalypts, a fragrance that deepens as the sun begins its slow descent, painting the western horizon with hues of ochre and soft violet. The land itself, a mosaic of emerald pastures and darker swathes of bushland, breathes with a quiet resilience, the very ground a testament to the seasons that have shaped it. The roads, like slow rivers of grey, meander through the terrain, connecting scattered homesteads and small clusters of dwellings that seem to settle into the contours of the land as if they’ve always belonged.
The history of Hill Top is etched not in grand monuments, but in the enduring legacy of those who first worked this country. For generations, the rhythm of life here has been dictated by the seasons and the needs of the land, primarily a pastoral one, with sheep grazing on the abundant grasses that carpet the hills. The echoes of earlier endeavours, perhaps a forgotten gold prospecting venture or the quiet persistence of early settlers carving out lives, are subtly present in the weathered fences and the slow-growing trees that stand as silent witnesses. The local economy, though small, is deeply rooted in agriculture and the quiet hum of neighbouring communities providing essential services. It is a place where the pace of life allows for a deeper appreciation of the changing light, the vastness of the sky, and the enduring spirit of the land.

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 Hill Top is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
