Explore Angurugu, Northern Territory, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Angurugu, NT map and move it around to re-centre it. 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 Angurugu, Northern Territory, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Northern Territory or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Angurugu and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Angurugu.
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.

Angurugu is a locality in the Groote Archipelago Region local government area of Northern Territory, Australia. The locality covers an area of 1.5 km². It lies approximately 631 km east-southeast of Darwin. Angurugu is located at 13.9799°S, 136.4614°E. It observes Australian Central Standard Time (ACST) - no daylight saving. Postcode: 0822. The Australian Bureau of Statistics classifies the area as Very Remote Australia.
Angurugu sprawls along the western edge of Groote Eylandt, a scattering of buildings bleached by the relentless sun and softened by the encroaching scrub. It lies 631.0 km east-south-east of Darwin City, NT (from Darwin City, NT: bearing 106°T), and is situated 15.0 km south-south-east of Alyangula. The land here is a study in ochre and emerald, where the dry, sandy soil gives way to tenacious spinifex and the occasional hardy acacia. A gentle breeze, often carrying the faint scent of salt and distant woodsmoke, whispers through the trees, stirring the leaves with a dry rustle. The air itself feels thick, holding the memory of ancient heat, and the light, particularly as the day begins its slow descent, casts long, indigo shadows that stretch across the landscape, lending a quiet grandeur to the otherwise humble surroundings.
The story of Angurugu is deeply entwined with the Anindilyakwa people, the traditional custodians of this land, whose connection to the islands stretches back millennia. For generations, this coastline has been a source of sustenance, its sheltered waters providing a bounty of fish and shellfish. More recently, Angurugu has become a vital centre for the Anindilyakwa Land Council, an organisation that plays a crucial role in managing land rights, economic development, and cultural preservation across the archipelago. While the vast manganese mines elsewhere on Groote Eylandt dominate the island’s economy, Angurugu offers a glimpse into a more traditional way of life, where the rhythm of the tides and the cycles of the seasons still hold sway, and where the vibrant colours of local art offer a window into deep-seated cultural narratives.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Angurugu, Northern Territory. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Angurugu, in the Groote Archipelago Region local government area.
Detailed location data for Angurugu includes the postcode (0822), telephone area code (08), and local government area (Groote Archipelago Region), with an ABS remoteness classification of Very Remote 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 Angurugu is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
