Explore Oxley Island, New South Wales, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Oxley Island, 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 Oxley Island, 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).
Drag the map to pan to any area of New South Wales or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Oxley Island and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Oxley Island.
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.

Oxley Island breathes a quiet, salty air, a place where the land itself seems to exhale the subtle scent of estuarine mud and saltbush. It lies 58.9 km south-south-west of Port Macquarie, NSW (from Port Macquarie, NSW: bearing 212°T), and is situated 11.9 km east of Taree. The terrain here is low-lying, a mosaic of emerald pastures and the deeper, richer green of paperbark forests that hug the water's edge. Winding creeks, more like veins of the earth, thread their way across the island, their surfaces sometimes ruffled by a passing breeze, at other times mirroring the bruised colours of the sky at dusk. The character of Oxley Island is one of patient endurance, a landscape that has witnessed the slow ebb and flow of tides and seasons, its contours shaped by the very water that surrounds and defines it.
The history of Oxley Island is written not in grand monuments, but in the enduring legacy of its agricultural past, a time when dairy herds were a common sight, their contented lowing a familiar sound drifting across the paddocks. The rich alluvial soils, deposited over millennia by the Manning River, continue to support a modest but hardy farming economy, a continuation of traditions passed down through generations. While the larger dairy operations have largely given way to smaller holdings and lifestyle blocks, the land retains its fertility, a quiet testament to its natural bounty. The waterways, once vital arteries for transporting goods and connecting isolated farms, still play a role, offering a peaceful haven for recreational boating and fishing, a reminder of the island's deep connection to the water. Travellers passing through may notice the unhurried pace of life, a characteristic that seems to have seeped into the very soil, a gentle rhythm that has long defined Oxley Island.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Oxley Island, 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 Oxley Island, in the Mid-Coast Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Oxley Island includes the postcode (2430), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Mid-Coast 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 Oxley Island is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
