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 Moppy, 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 Moppy.
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.

Moppy breathes the quiet air of the Mid-North Coast hinterland, where rolling hills, cloaked in a patchwork of emerald pastures and shadowed gum forests, fall away towards the distant glint of the Pacific. It lies 83.5 km north of Maitland, NSW (from Maitland, NSW: bearing 4°T), and is situated 32.4 km west of Gloucester. The land here is a study in patient contours, sculpted by ancient rains and the slow, steady hand of time, with creeks that whisper secrets through fern-lined gullies and the occasional rocky outcrop standing sentinel against the vast, pale blue sky. A palpable stillness often settles over Moppy, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the raucous calls of unseen birds flitting through the dense canopy, a softness in the light that seems to linger, particularly in the late afternoon as the sun dips, painting the western sky in hues of rose and lavender.
The story of Moppy is entwined with the fertile earth and the promise of sustenance it has offered for generations. Early settlers, drawn by the rich soil and the temperate climate, established a farming community that continues to be the lifeblood of Moppy, with cattle grazing on sun-drenched paddocks and the scent of hay often carried on the breeze. The echoes of a mining past, though now faded, can still be felt in the sturdy, weathered buildings that line the main street, a testament to the hard work and resilience of those who laboured here. While tourism is a gentle hum rather than a roar, visitors are drawn to Moppy for its unpretentious charm, the opportunity to explore its surrounding natural beauty and experience a pace of life that allows for a deeper appreciation of the simple, enduring rhythms of the Australian landscape.

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