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.

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 Upper Duroby.
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.

Upper Duroby lies cradled in a fold of the northern New South Wales hinterland, a place where the air carries the sweet, damp scent of burgeoning ferns and the distant murmur of unseen creeks. It lies 20.8 km south-south-east of Robina, QLD (from Robina, QLD: bearing 168°T), and is situated 10.9 km west-south-west of Banora Point. The landscape here is a study in green, a generous embrace of rolling hills cloaked in a dense tapestry of rainforest and eucalypt forest that spills down towards the valleys. Sunlight, when it breaks through the canopy, paints shifting mosaics of gold and emerald on the rich, dark earth, and the silence is often broken only by the chirrup of unseen birds or the soft rustle of leaves disturbed by a passing breeze. The terrain, sculpted by millennia of rainfall, offers a constant, gentle rise and fall, inviting exploration along winding tracks that disappear into the verdant depths.
The story of Upper Duroby is one woven from the patient labour of settlers and the enduring spirit of the land. For generations, its economy has been tethered to the fertile soil, with dairy farming and grazing forming the bedrock of its prosperity, the rich pastures yielding their bounty under the generous Australian sun. More recently, a burgeoning interest in artisanal produce and a quiet appreciation for its natural beauty have drawn a different kind of traveller, those seeking respite from the hurried world. Small holdings, dedicated to growing everything from heritage vegetables to native flowers, dot the hillsides, their colours a vibrant contrast to the deep greens of the native bushland. The spirit of Upper Duroby is one of quiet resilience, a place where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pace of life, and where the enduring connection to the land remains its most precious inheritance.

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 Upper Duroby is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
