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

Mulwala rests where the Murray River, a ribbon of determined water, broadens and slows before surrendering to the vastness of Lake Mulwala. It lies 54.8 km north-north-west of Wangaratta, VIC (from Wangaratta, VIC: bearing 334°T), and is situated 13.4 km north-north-east of Yarrawonga. The landscape here is a gentle embrace of fertile plains, etched with the patient work of irrigation channels that fan out like veins from the life-giving waterway. Gum trees, their bark a mosaic of peeling grey and white, stand sentinel along the banks, their leaves whispering secrets to the breeze that carries the scent of sun-warmed earth and distant pastures. The sky, a vast canvas of impossible blue, seems to press down on the flat land, softening the edges of the horizon and imbuing the air with a quiet, luminous clarity, especially as the day begins to fade.
This is a place shaped by the river, its history as intertwined with the Murray as the irrigation channels are with the land. For generations, farming has been the steady pulse of Mulwala’s economy, wheat and wool once dominating, now yielding to the abundant produce nurtured by the artificial lakes and channels. The Yarrawonga Mulwala Weir, a significant feat of engineering, tamed the river's flow, creating the expansive lake that defines the modern character of Mulwala, drawing visitors for its watersports and fishing. The quiet hum of agricultural machinery is often punctuated by the splash of a leaping fish or the distant laughter of families enjoying the lakeside foreshore, a testament to the enduring appeal of this fertile, water-blessed corner of the land.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Mulwala, 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 Mulwala, in the Federation Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Mulwala includes the postcode (2647), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Federation 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 Mulwala is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
