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

Paringi rests on a broad, sun-baked plain, where the ochre earth stretches towards a horizon often softened by heat haze. It lies 25.0 km east-south-east of Mildura, VIC (from Mildura, VIC: bearing 111°T), and is situated 19.8 km east-south-east of Irymple. The landscape here is one of patient endurance, defined by the wide, pale sky arching over sparse tussock grass and hardy scrub that clings to the contours of the land. In the quiet hours, the air itself seems to hum with an ancient stillness, broken only by the rustle of wind through dry stalks or the distant, mournful cry of a bird. Low, undulating rises, weathered by millennia, break the monotony, hinting at the slow work of water and wind shaping this country. The colour palette is muted, dominated by the dusty browns and faded greens of drought-resistant vegetation, punctuated by the stark white of saltbush and the occasional vibrant splash of a desert flower after rain.
The history of Paringi is written in the very soil and the enduring spirit of its people, a story deeply intertwined with the pastoral industry that has long sustained this region. Sheep stations, vast in their reach, are the economic lifeblood, their wool a familiar commodity woven into the fabric of the wider world, though here it is simply the labour of generations. The land, though seemingly spare, yields its bounty to those who understand its rhythms, a challenging but rewarding existence. Travellers passing through might notice the sturdy, functional homesteads, the weathered fences stretching for kilometres, and the quiet dignity of a place where life moves at a pace dictated by the seasons and the needs of the land. The sunsets here are legendary, painting the sky in fiery hues of orange, pink, and deep violet, a daily spectacle that offers a moment of profound beauty against the backdrop of everyday toil.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Paringi, 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 Paringi, in the Wentworth Shire Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Paringi includes the postcode (2738), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Wentworth Shire Council), with an ABS remoteness classification of Remote 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 Paringi is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
