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

Manchester Square rests in a broad, shallow valley where the earth softens into gentle slopes, a gentle transition from the higher country surrounding it. It lies 48.9 km west-south-west of Wollongong, NSW (from Wollongong, NSW: bearing 247°T), and is situated 13.3 km south of Bowral. The air here carries a faint, sweet scent, a blend of damp soil and the distant perfume of eucalypts, especially potent after a rain shower. The landscape is a patchwork of green paddocks, some neatly fenced, others more wild with tussocks of native grass, interspersed with stands of gum trees that offer dappled shade. A small, winding creek, often little more than a silver ribbon in the dry months, meanders through the heart of Manchester Square, its banks fringed with willows whose leaves whisper secrets in the breeze. The quality of the light, particularly in the late afternoon, washes over the land in hues of honey and rose, softening the edges of the world and lending a quiet, almost contemplative mood to the scene.
The story of Manchester Square is one of quiet persistence, shaped by the land and the endeavours of those who settled it. Its origins lie in the pastoral leases of the 19th century, where sheep and cattle grazing became the bedrock of the local economy, a tradition that continues to this day, albeit with more modern farming practices. The land around Manchester Square, though not overtly mineral-rich, has yielded some modest returns over the years, enough to support a small but resilient community. The local primary school, a modest brick building with a well-worn playground, stands as a focal point, a testament to the enduring importance of education and the future generations who will continue to call Manchester Square home. The pace of life here is unhurried, a gentle rhythm dictated more by the seasons and the needs of the land than by the clamour of the wider world.

Detailed location data for Manchester Square includes the postcode (2577), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Wingecarribee Shire Council), with an ABS remoteness classification of Inner Regional 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 Manchester Square is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
