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 Parramatta, 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 Parramatta.
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.

Parramatta unfolds across a fertile plain, a place where the gentle curves of the land meet the insistent flow of its namesake river. It lies 3.0 km north-east of Merrylands, NSW (from Merrylands, NSW: bearing 42°T), and is situated 10.7 km east-south-east of Blacktown. This significant river, a vital artery for millennia, carves a distinct path through the terrain, its banks often softened by the lushness that has long characterised this region. The air here, particularly as the sun begins its descent, carries a certain sweetness, a blend of damp earth and the subtle perfume of flowering gums, hinting at the deep connection between the built environment and the enduring natural world. Parramatta’s character is one of quiet resilience, a place that has witnessed profound change yet retains a grounded, unhurried essence, a testament to its deep roots in the Australian landscape.
The history of Parramatta is intrinsically tied to its role as a pivotal settlement beyond the initial colonial foothold, established early in the colony's narrative as a strategic administrative and agricultural hub. This foundational importance propelled its early growth, fostering an economy that initially relied heavily on farming and grazing, the rich soils supporting the sustenance of a nascent nation. Over time, this agricultural bent evolved, transitioning into a diverse economic centre that now thrives on a robust mix of commerce, services, and innovation, a far cry from its pastoral beginnings. The echoes of this past are still present, however, in the enduring grace of its older buildings and the way the river continues to shape the city’s outlook, a constant reminder of the generations who have worked and lived on this land.
The cultural pulse of Parramatta beats strongly, a vibrant confluence of sporting fervour, artistic expression, and academic pursuit. While not boasting the major professional teams of larger metropolitan centres, Parramatta's spirit is readily found in the enthusiastic crowds that follow local clubs and the passion ignited during major annual events and festivals that draw visitors from across the state. Its landmarks, such as the historic Government House and the Old Government House, stand as silent witnesses to centuries of Australian history, while the verdant expanse of Parramatta Park offers a sanctuary of green within the urban fabric. Renowned institutions of learning contribute to the intellectual dynamism of Parramatta, fostering a generation of thinkers and creators. The city has also been the crucible for a number of well-known individuals who have left indelible marks on the national and international stage, their achievements resonating far beyond the city limits, a quiet testament to the fertile ground that Parramatta provides for talent to flourish.

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