Explore Mortlake, New South Wales, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Mortlake, 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 Mortlake, New South Wales, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Mortlake.
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.

Mortlake breathes with the gentle incline of its land towards the shimmering expanse of the Parramatta River. It lies 3.7 km south-south-west of Ryde, NSW (from Ryde, NSW: bearing 193°T), and is situated 10.1 km west-north-west of Sydney. The air here, particularly in the late afternoon, carries a subtle, salty tang, a whisper from the harbour that subtly softens the edges of the suburban sprawl. Beneath a sky that often shifts from crystalline blue to bruised lavender, houses with their neat gardens and weathered fences create a mosaic of domesticity, punctuated by the rustle of introduced palms and the occasional flash of a crimson rosella. The broad, tree-lined streets, where sunlight filters through a canopy of jacarandas and figs, invite a slower pace, a quiet observation of the neighbourhood’s unfolding day, from the morning rush of commuters to the evening stillness where streetlights begin to cast long, dancing shadows.
This stretch of land, once traversed by Indigenous peoples, later felt the imprint of European settlement, transforming from bushland to farmland and eventually into the residential fabric of today. The historical presence of the Mortlake Ferry, a vital link for decades, speaks to a past where the river was the main thoroughfare, shaping the lives and livelihoods of its early inhabitants. While the wharves and associated industries have long since faded, the echoes remain in the very layout of some streets and the names of places. Today, the local economy is primarily driven by the service sector and the daily commute of its residents to neighbouring business districts, though pockets of small businesses still cater to the immediate community, offering a tangible connection to a more localised way of life. The distinctive character of Mortlake, a blend of its watery proximity and suburban serenity, creates a unique sense of place, a quiet corner of the city that retains a subtle charm.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Mortlake, 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 Mortlake, in the City Of Canada Bay Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Mortlake includes the postcode (2137), telephone area code (02), and local government area (City Of Canada Bay 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 Mortlake is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
