Explore Coomalie Creek, Northern Territory, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Coomalie Creek, 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 Coomalie Creek, 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).

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 Coomalie 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.

Coomalie Creek shimmers under the vast Northern Territory sky, a place where the red earth meets the emerald of the tropics. It lies 69.8 km south-south-east of Darwin City, NT (from Darwin City, NT: bearing 149°T), and is situated 26.2 km south of Acacia Hills. The air hangs thick and warm, carrying the faint scent of eucalyptus and damp soil, a constant reminder of the land's untamed nature. Low, rolling hills, cloaked in a dense scrub of acacia and hardy grasses, give way to pockets of taller eucalypts, their branches reaching towards the sun like supplicating arms. The landscape here is a study in subtle contrasts, a tapestry of ochre and viridian that shifts and deepens with the changing light, particularly as the sun begins its slow descent, painting the sky in hues of apricot and rose.
The history of Coomalie Creek is etched into the very rhythm of its existence, a story woven from the enduring spirit of its traditional custodians and the hardy pioneers who sought a life from this generous, yet demanding, terrain. For generations, this land has sustained life, with the creek itself a vital artery, its seasonal flows dictating the patterns of the land and its inhabitants. Today, the local economy draws its strength from the surrounding pastoral leases, where cattle graze across the vast expanses, their presence a quiet testament to the land's capacity for sustenance. Agriculture also plays a role, with small-scale ventures coaxing crops from the rich, red soil, a hopeful endeavour under the relentless tropical sun. Visitors might find themselves drawn to the quiet charm of Coomalie Creek, a place that offers a glimpse into a way of life shaped by the land's enduring power and the resilience of its people.

Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Coomalie Creek, in the Coomalie Shire local government area.
Detailed location data for Coomalie Creek includes the postcode (0822), telephone area code (08), and local government area (Coomalie Shire), with an ABS remoteness classification of 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 Coomalie Creek is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
