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

Oatley rests on the southern banks of the Georges River, a place where the land dips and rises, cloaked in a generous spread of eucalypt forest and manicured gardens. It lies 3.7 km south-west of Hurstville, NSW (from Hurstville, NSW: bearing 231°T), and is situated 14.6 km south-south-east of Auburn. The air here carries the damp, earthy scent of river flats and the sweet perfume of blooming jacarandas in spring, a fragrant counterpoint to the more saline tang that drifts inland from Botany Bay on the sea breeze. Sunlight filters through the dense canopy, dappling the quiet streets with shifting patterns of light and shadow, and the calls of kookaburras and the distant hum of traffic mark the gentle rhythm of life. The terrain is a pleasingly uneven tapestry, with streets that wind and climb, revealing glimpses of the broad, dark waters of the river through gaps in the foliage.
The history of Oatley is intrinsically tied to its strategic position along the Georges River, a vital artery for transport and trade since colonial times, and the land was once traversed by Indigenous peoples for millennia. Early European settlers recognised its potential for agriculture, and the area gradually transformed from bushland to orchards and farms, with dairying and market gardens contributing to the local economy. The opening of the railway line in the late 19th century was a pivotal moment, transforming Oatley into a desirable residential suburb for those seeking a connection to nature without sacrificing access to the burgeoning city. Today, the enduring appeal of Oatley lies in its blend of natural beauty and established community, a place where the rustle of leaves often drowns out the urban clamour, and the river remains a constant, calming presence.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Oatley, 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 Oatley, in the Georges River Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Oatley includes the postcode (2223), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Georges River 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 Oatley is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
