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 Summer Hill, 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 Summer Hill.
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.

Summer Hill rises gently from the undulating terrain, a verdant suburb where established trees cast dappled shadows across quiet streets. It lies 1.3 km east-south-east of Ashfield, NSW (from Ashfield, NSW: bearing 110°T), and is situated 7.3 km west-south-west of Sydney. The air here carries a particular softness, a humid breath that clings to the broad leaves of jacarandas and the sturdy trunks of fig trees, hinting at the proximity of the vast, shimmering expanse of the nearby harbour. Its landscape is a mosaic of well-tended gardens overflowing with bougainvillea and hibiscus, interspersed with the solid, enduring architecture of Federation and Edwardian homes, their verandahs offering cool respite from the afternoon sun. The streets themselves possess a certain character, a winding grace that discourages haste, inviting a slower perambulation, a closer look at the intricate iron lacework adorning balconies and the occasional flash of a kookaburra’s bright eye from a high branch.
This locality, Summer Hill, has a history woven with the threads of early colonial settlement and the subsequent waves of immigration that have shaped its distinctive cultural fabric. Once part of larger pastoral estates, the land gradually yielded to subdivision and the development of a thriving village centre that still retains a charming, almost old-world feel. The local economy, once reliant on the surrounding agricultural lands and burgeoning industries closer to the city, has largely transitioned to a vibrant hub of small businesses, cafes and boutiques catering to a discerning populace. A notable feature is the enduring railway station, a handsome sandstone structure that continues to serve as a vital artery, connecting Summer Hill to the wider metropolitan area and echoing with the footsteps of generations of travellers. The quality of light here, especially in the late afternoon, possesses a golden hue, bathing the sandstone buildings and manicured lawns in a warm, nostalgic glow.

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 Summer Hill is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
