Explore Norfolk Island, Other Territories, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Norfolk Island, OT 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 Norfolk Island, Other Territories, 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 Other Territories or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Norfolk Island 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 Norfolk Island.
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.

Norfolk Island is a locality in Other Territories, Australia. The locality covers an area of 34.5 km². It lies approximately 1472 km east of Brisbane.

Norfolk Island rises from the vast Pacific, a verdant emerald crowned with dark green pines that stand sentinel against the boundless sky. It lies 1423.9 km east of Surfers Paradise, QLD (from Surfers Paradise, QLD: bearing 98°T). Steep cliffs, softened by the relentless caress of salt spray, plunge dramatically into the turquoise depths, their rugged faces etched with the passage of countless tides. Above, rolling hills carpeted in a patchwork of pasture and lush subtropical forest spill towards the coast, the air alive with the sweet, earthy scent of damp soil and blossoming frangipani. The light here, especially as the day begins to wane, possesses a peculiar softness, a gentle diffusion that bathes the landscape in hues of rose and gold, transforming the familiar contours into something ethereal.
This island's story is a complex weave of penal colonies and pioneering spirit, a history that echoes in the stoic stone buildings of Kingston, their weathered facades whispering tales of hardship and resilience. The economy, once dominated by whaling and later by the cultivation of flax and citrus, now finds its footing in tourism and the quiet cultivation of niche crops like yams and avocados, their rich flavour a testament to the island's fertile volcanic soil. Visitors are drawn to its unique character, a blend of Australian administration and a fiercely independent local identity, fostered by generations who have called this isolated paradise home. The gentle rhythm of life here, punctuated by the calls of seabirds and the distant murmur of the surf, invites a slower, more contemplative way of being, a refreshing counterpoint to the clamour of the wider world.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Norfolk Island, Other Territories. 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 Norfolk Island.
Detailed location data for Norfolk Island includes the postcode (2899), telephone area code (02), 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 Norfolk Island is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
