How to Use This Towallum, New South Wales Map

This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Towallum, 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 Towallum 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 Towallum.

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.

About Towallum, New South Wales

Towallum is a locality in the Clarence Valley Council local government area of New South Wales, Australia. The locality covers an area of 151.2 km². It lies approximately 448 km north-northeast of Sydney. Towallum is located at 30.0772°S, 152.8312°E. It observes Australian Eastern Time (AEST/AEDT). Postcode: 2460.

Towallum rests within the undulating embrace of the Clarence Valley, a landscape painted in a thousand shades of green and gold under a vast, often luminous sky. It lies 38.3 km north-west of Coffs Harbour, NSW (from Coffs Harbour, NSW: bearing 312°T), and is situated 10.5 km west of Glenreagh. Here, the country gently folds and unfurls, rising and falling in soft, grassy waves towards the distant, hazy blue of the Great Dividing Range. The air, especially in the early morning, carries the clean scent of dew-kissed pastures and the fainter, sweeter perfume of flowering gums, a subtle perfume that clings to the stillness. The land itself feels patient, ancient, marked by the slow, deliberate shaping of water and wind, its character defined by the broad, fertile plains that give way to steeper, timbered country.

This corner of the Clarence Valley has long been a place of quiet industry, its economy primarily tethered to the rich soils that have sustained generations of farmers and graziers. Sheep and cattle are the enduring backbone of Towallum, their presence a constant hum on the land, their fleeces and meat finding their way to markets near and far. The region’s history is etched into the weathered timber of old farmhouses and the stoic lines of fences that stretch across horizons, a testament to the enduring spirit of those who have worked this earth. The river, a sinuous silver thread, not only nourishes the land but also offers a lifeline for local agriculture, its waters a constant murmur of life and sustenance that has shaped the very rhythm of Towallum.

About This Towallum Map Page

This page provides a street and satellite map of Towallum, 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 Towallum, in the Clarence Valley Council local government area.

Detailed location data for Towallum includes the postcode (2460), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Clarence Valley 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 Towallum is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
