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 Mcleods Shoot.
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.

Rolling hills, cloaked in a vibrant tapestry of green – from the deep emerald of established pastures to the lighter shades of newly sprouted crops – define its undulating terrain, stretching towards the distant, hazy blue of the McPherson Range. The air here carries a subtle sweetness, a blend of damp soil and the fragrant bloom of unseen wildflowers, particularly potent in the soft, diffused light of late afternoon. Here, the very ground seems to hold a quiet awareness, a patient stillness that hints at the passage of seasons and the slow unfolding of time, a feeling amplified by the gentle murmur of distant creeks and the rustle of leaves in the warm breeze.
The history of Mcleods Shoot is deeply intertwined with the agricultural bounty of this region, a legacy of hardy pioneers who coaxed sustenance from this rich soil. For generations, dairy farming has been the lifeblood of Mcleods Shoot, the rhythmic hum of milking machines a familiar soundtrack to the days, their output destined for local dairies and the wider markets of the Byron Shire. More recently, the entrepreneurial spirit has diversified, with small-scale organic farms and artisanal producers finding a niche, their wares often appearing at bustling local markets. This evolving economy, while still anchored in the land, now embraces a more holistic approach, reflecting a growing appreciation for sustainability and the provenance of food, a distinctive character that sets Mcleods Shoot apart from its more urban neighbours.

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.
