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 Numbugga, 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 Numbugga.
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.

Numbugga rests in a gentle embrace of rolling hills, a landscape where the colour of the earth shifts from ochre to burnt sienna with the passing seasons. It lies 208.8 km south of Goulburn, NSW (from Goulburn, NSW: bearing 181°T), and is situated 14.2 km west-north-west of Bega. Here, the air carries a faint, sweet perfume of eucalypt mixed with the earthy scent of damp soil after a recent shower, a fragrance that clings to everything. The land itself seems to breathe, exhaling a quiet stillness that settles over the scattered farms and paddocks. Waterways, like silver threads, wind their way through the terrain, feeding pockets of denser bushland where the calls of unseen birds punctuate the afternoon quiet.
The history of Numbugga is intrinsically linked to the rich, fertile soils that have long sustained its agricultural heart. For generations, this land has been a place of grazing and cultivation, the backbone of its economy built on the backs of sheep and cattle, and the steady work of those who tend them. While the echoes of earlier endeavours, perhaps involving the extraction of valuable resources from the earth, might linger in the landscape's subtle contours, the present-day character of Numbugga is one of enduring rural life. Travellers passing through might notice the weathered charm of farmhouses and sheds, each a quiet testament to the resilience and hard work that has shaped this corner of the valley.

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