Explore Linley Point, New South Wales, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Linley Point, 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 Linley Point, 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 Linley Point.
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.

Linley Point unfolds as a verdant peninsula, its contours softened by the embrace of the Lane Cove River and the broader expanse of Sydney Harbour. It lies 3.8 km south-east of Ryde, NSW (from Ryde, NSW: bearing 124°T), and is situated 7.2 km north-west of Sydney. The land here, a tapestry of native bushland and manicured gardens, slopes gently towards the water, its character defined by the dappled sunlight filtering through the gum trees and the almost perpetual whisper of the sea breeze. The air carries the distinct tang of salt and damp earth, a constant reminder of its maritime proximity, while the occasional flash of iridescent lorikeet wings or the distant cry of a seabird punctuate the quietude. Homes, often with wide verandas and deep eaves, appear to merge with the landscape, their colours echoing the greens and greys of the surrounding foliage.
The history of Linley Point is deeply intertwined with the early settlement of Sydney, its strategic position along the river having been recognised long before its modern residential development. For generations, the foreshore, now a popular spot for quiet contemplation and the occasional picnicker, was a working waterfront. Fishing boats once plied these waters, their catches supplying the burgeoning city, and the echoes of that bygone era can still be felt in the weathered timber of older jetties and the enduring appeal of the harbour’s natural bounty. Today, Linley Point thrives as a desirable residential enclave, its economy sustained by the proximity to urban centres and the very lifestyle it offers – a peaceful retreat that nonetheless remains connected to the vibrant pulse of the greater Sydney region, a place where the rhythm of life is measured by the turning of the tide and the changing colours of the sky.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Linley Point, New South Wales. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Linley Point, in the Lane Cove Municipal Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Linley Point includes the postcode (2066), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Lane Cove Municipal Council), with an ABS remoteness classification of Major Cities of Australia. 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 Linley Point is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
