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.

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 Wallaringa.
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.

Wallaringa rests in a quiet pocket of the Dungog Shire, where the land begins its gentle roll towards the broader valleys. It lies 33.3 km north-north-east of Maitland, NSW (from Maitland, NSW: bearing 20°T), and is situated 9.0 km south-west of Dungog. Here, the country is a tapestry of green paddocks, stitched together by winding creeks that glint like threads of silver in the afternoon sun. The air itself carries a subtle scent of damp earth and eucalypt, a constant reminder of the bush that presses in from the surrounding hills. Old farmhouses, their colours softened by decades of sun and rain, stand as stoic sentinels against the wide, pale sky, their verandahs offering a welcome shade. The character of Wallaringa is one of quiet persistence, a place where the land dictates the pace of life, and the rhythm is set by the turning of the seasons rather than the ticking of a clock.
The history of Wallaringa is tied to the land, to the cattle that have grazed these slopes for generations and the timber that once sustained a small but vital industry. The early settlers, drawn by the fertile soil and the promise of a new life, carved their existence from the dense bushland, their legacy visible in the enduring fences and the wells that still punctuate the landscape. The local economy, though modest, remains firmly rooted in agriculture, with a focus on prime cattle and the occasional small-scale cropping. There are no grand monuments or bustling tourist traps in Wallaringa; its distinctiveness lies in its understated beauty, the enduring spirit of its people, and the way the light can transform the ordinary into something quite extraordinary as dusk settles, casting long, soft shadows across the valley floor.

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