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 Wilsons Creek.
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.

Wilsons Creek unfurls as a verdant scar through the rolling hills, a place where the air hangs thick with the scent of damp earth and flowering ginger lilies. It lies 55.1 km south of Robina, QLD (from Robina, QLD: bearing 175°T), and is situated 11.2 km west-south-west of Ocean Shores. The land here is a generous quilt of emerald pastures, stitched with the darker greens of rainforest gullies and the silver threads of meandering creeks. Sunlight, when it pierces the canopy, falls in luminous shafts, illuminating the feathery fronds of ferns and the rough bark of ancient fig trees. The very rhythm of Wilsons Creek feels governed by the gentle ebb and flow of the water, a constant murmur that underpins the quiet industry of its inhabitants. Even the distant haze that often softens the horizon seems to possess a certain weight, a promise of the subtropical embrace that defines this corner of the Byron Shire.
Historically, Wilsons Creek has been a place of quiet sustenance, its fertile soil long supporting a tradition of small-scale farming and grazing. While the broader region has seen waves of development and a burgeoning tourism trade, Wilsons Creek has largely retained its character as a place where life moves at a more deliberate pace, often dictated by the seasons and the needs of the land. The local economy, though varied, still finds its roots in the earth, with a steady production of organic produce and artisanal goods. The distinctiveness of Wilsons Creek lies not in grand pronouncements or bustling centres, but in the subtle beauty of its natural landscape and the enduring, almost shy, spirit of its people, who seem to draw strength from the very soil beneath their feet.

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 Wilsons Creek is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
