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 Warrumbungle, 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 Warrumbungle.
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.

Warrumbungle rises from the plains, a land sculpted by ancient forces and bathed in the expansive Australian sky. It lies 117.2 km north-north-east of Dubbo, NSW (from Dubbo, NSW: bearing 14°T), and is situated 28.9 km west-north-west of Coonabarabran. The landscape here is a study in contrasts, where the stark, sun-baked earth gives way to the dramatic, volcanic ramparts of the Warrumbungle National Park. Jagged peaks, weathered into fantastical shapes by millennia of wind and rain, dominate the horizon, their ochre and grey surfaces catching the light in a perpetual dance. Between these monumental formations, the land flattens into rolling plains, dotted with hardy acacias and eucalyptus trees whose silvery leaves rustle secrets on the breeze. The air itself carries a dry, clean scent, tinged with the subtle perfume of native grasses and the ever-present dust that coats everything with a fine, soft layer. As the sun begins its slow descent, the colours of the mountains deepen to shades of bruised plum and burnt sienna, while the vast sky above bleeds into soft hues of rose and lavender, a breathtaking spectacle that seems to stretch to infinity.
This is a place where the whispers of the past are carried on the wind, a region deeply connected to the land and its enduring cycles. The local economy, historically tied to the generous but often challenging Australian climate, thrives on sheep and cattle grazing, the vast paddocks stretching out like an endless, green-and-gold carpet. Agriculture, particularly the cultivation of grains, also plays a significant role, shaping the patchwork quilt of fields that surround the scattered homesteads. For the traveller, the Warrumbungle National Park is the undeniable jewel, drawing visitors keen to explore its hiking trails, marvel at its unique geological formations, and gaze at the unparalleled clarity of the night sky, a celestial display undimmed by city lights. The character of Warrumbungle is one of quiet resilience and understated beauty, a place where life unfolds at a pace dictated by the seasons and the steady rhythm of the land.

Detailed location data for Warrumbungle includes the postcode (2817), telephone area code (02), and local government area (Gilgandra Shire Council), with an ABS remoteness classification of Outer 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 Warrumbungle is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
