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 Point Frederick, 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 Point Frederick.
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.

Point Frederick unfolds along the western edge of Brisbane Water, a sliver of land where the estuary’s embrace lends a certain softness to the undulating terrain. It lies 20.5 km north of Pittwater, NSW (from Pittwater, NSW: bearing 11°T), and is situated 8.9 km north-north-east of Umina Beach. Eucalypts, their bark peeling in papery strips, cling to the slopes, their branches a haven for the raucous calls of cockatoos that punctuate the coastal air. Below, the water, a shifting palette of blues and greys depending on the sky's mood, laps at the foreshore, a constant, gentle murmur that defines the locale’s quietude. The houses here often wear their age with a comfortable grace, some boasting verandas that seem to lean out to catch the sea breeze, others more modern structures that nonetheless respect the easy-going rhythm of life by the water. The light, particularly in the late afternoon, casts long, painterly shadows across the lawns, a warm, golden hue that seems to slow everything down.
The history of Point Frederick is deeply entwined with the maritime heritage of the region, its shores once a vital hub for shipbuilding and timber milling that fed the burgeoning colony. Early settlers recognised the strategic importance of this sheltered harbour, and the echoes of that industrious past can still be felt in the sturdy foundations and the enduring connection to the water. Today, the local economy draws a healthy portion from the hospitality and tourism sectors, with visitors drawn to the scenic beauty and the proximity to larger centres, yet Point Frederick retains its distinct character. The small marinas dotted along the waterfront are a testament to a continuing passion for boating, a lifestyle that underpins much of the local identity, where weekends are often measured by tides and the gentle hum of outboard motors.

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 Point Frederick is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
