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 Kangaroobie, 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 Kangaroobie.
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.

Kangaroobie unfolds across a landscape of rolling country, where the ochre earth breathes under a sky of wide, improbable blue. It lies 9.5 km north-north-west of Orange, NSW (from Orange, NSW: bearing 344°T), and is situated 13.4 km north-west of Clifton Grove. The terrain here is a study in subtle shifts, a gentle rise and fall that carries the eye towards distant, hazy ridgelines. Patches of hardy scrub, resilient gums with bark like weathered skin, and the occasional stubborn clump of saltbush mark the contours, a testament to the land’s unyielding character. The air, especially in the late afternoon, carries a dry warmth, tinged with the faint, dusty perfume of sun-baked grasses and the promise of a cool evening. Sheep, small white constellations against the muted colours of the paddocks, move with a quiet deliberation, their presence a constant, living punctuation in the stillness.
The story of Kangaroobie is etched in the very grain of its existence, a narrative woven from the sturdy resilience of early settlers and the enduring spirit of agricultural enterprise. For generations, this land has sustained flocks, its wool a vital thread in the wider economy, a quiet but persistent hum beneath the surface of everyday life. The local roads, worn smooth by the passage of tractors and utility vehicles, connect scattered homesteads and the modest cluster of buildings that form the heart of Kangaroobie. While the world beyond might bustle with different industries, here the rhythm is dictated by the seasons and the needs of the land, a continuity that imbues the place with a deep sense of belonging and a quiet, enduring pride.

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