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 Woolbrook, 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 Woolbrook.
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.

Woolbrook rests where the New England Tablelands begin their gentle descent, a place painted in the muted greens and ochres of grazing country. It lies 39.7 km east-north-east of Tamworth, NSW (from Tamworth, NSW: bearing 67°T), and is situated 26.9 km east-north-east of Kootingal. The air here carries a crispness, particularly in the early mornings when a fine mist often clings to the hollows, softening the edges of the rolling hills and the scattered stands of eucalypt that punctuate the paddocks. Broadacre farms stretch towards the horizon, their fences a neat, geometric punctuation mark against the organic flow of the landscape, and the silence is often broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the occasional low rumble of a stock truck making its way along the quiet bitumen. Sunlight here has a particular clarity, illuminating the fine dust motes that dance in the warm afternoons and casting long, benevolent shadows as evening approaches.
The story of Woolbrook is deeply entwined with the pastoral heritage of the region, a history etched into the very land by generations of graziers who have coaxed a living from its fertile soil. For many years, the wool industry was the lifeblood of this locality, its fortunes waxing and waning with the global market, but leaving an indelible mark on the character of the place. While the landscape still echoes with the traditions of sheep farming, the economy of Woolbrook has diversified, with cattle grazing now playing a significant role, and a quiet resilience characterising the spirit of its inhabitants. Travellers passing through Woolbrook often remark on the unhurried pace of life, a gentle rhythm that seems to have been set by the land itself, a stark contrast to the clamour of busier centres.

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