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 Thamarrurr.
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.

Thamarrurr unfurls along a vast, alluvial plain, where the red earth bleeds into the pale, sun-bleached grasses. It lies 225.2 km south-west of Darwin City, NT (from Darwin City, NT: bearing 214°T), and is situated 21.2 km north-east of Wadeye. The air here is thick with the scent of eucalyptus and the distant, saline breath of the sea, a constant reminder of the ancient waterways that have shaped this land. Low, scrubby vegetation, resilient and tenacious, dots the landscape, punctuated by the occasional, proud acacia tree, its branches reaching like skeletal fingers towards the wide, indifferent sky. The light at dawn and dusk paints the horizon in hues of rose and bruised plum, a fleeting, ephemeral beauty that seems to intensify the quiet solitude of the place. Everywhere, the sense of immense space prevails, a gentle immensity that swallows sound and slows the hurried pulse of the outside world.
This is a country where the echoes of ancient custodians still resonate, their stories woven into the very texture of the land. For generations, the people of Thamarrurr have lived in concert with its rhythms, their lives dictated by the seasons and the bounty of the rivers and the coast. The economy here is a delicate negotiation with nature, centred on cattle grazing across the expansive pastoral leases, the vast herds moving like slow, brown rivers across the ochre plains. Fishing also plays a vital role, the local waters yielding sustenance and a connection to the sea that has always been a lifeblood for Thamarrurr. While not a place of grand monuments, its distinctive character lies in its profound connection to country, a quiet resilience that has endured through time.

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