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 Yarrawonga.
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.

Yarrawonga rests on the southern bank of the mighty Murray River, a place where the warm, dry air, carrying the scent of sun-baked earth and distant eucalyptus, seems to hum with a quiet energy. It lies 16.0 km east of Darwin City, NT (from Darwin City, NT: bearing 94°T), and is situated 8.3 km west of Howard Springs. The landscape here is a study in subtle contrasts: flat, fertile plains stretch towards a horizon often softened by a haze of heat, punctuated by the occasional stand of river red gums, their ancient limbs reaching out like weathered arms. The river itself is the town's lifeblood, a broad, slow-moving ribbon of ochre water, reflecting the vast, pale blue sky that dominates the northern territories. Evenings bring a deepening of colour, the western sky igniting in hues of apricot and rose, casting long, dancing shadows from the riverside vegetation that line the foreshore.
This land has long been a place of sustenance, its rich alluvial soil supporting a thriving agricultural economy for generations. Yarrawonga is renowned for its vineyards, the vines stretching in neat rows across the plains, their leaves rustling in the gentle breeze, promising the rich, full-bodied wines that have become a hallmark of the region. Beyond the grapevines, orchards burst with fruit, and the fertile paddocks also yield crops essential to the nation's larder. Historically, the river was a vital artery for transport and trade, and its presence continues to shape the character of Yarrawonga, attracting visitors who come to enjoy its waters for recreation, fishing, and the simple pleasure of a riverside holiday. The town itself possesses a relaxed, unhurried pace, a reflection of its enduring connection to the land and the steady, predictable flow of the river that defines its very existence.

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