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 Branch Creek, Queensland, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views.

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 Branch 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.

Branch Creek breathes a quiet existence under the vast Queensland sky, a place where the land itself seems to hold its breath. It lies 127.2 km west of Maryborough, QLD (from Maryborough, QLD: bearing 277°T), and is situated 25.3 km north-north-east of Mundubbera. The terrain here is a gentle descent, a slow surrender of undulating country towards the subtle curve of the creek bed, fringed by hardy eucalypts and the occasional ghost gum standing sentinel. The air, particularly in the soft glow of late afternoon, carries the dry, sweet scent of sun-baked earth mingled with the fainter perfume of native grasses, a fragrance that settles deep into the lungs. The colours of the landscape are muted ochres and dusty greens, a palette that shifts with the seasons, from the vibrant blush of spring wildflowers to the bleached straw of high summer.
This corner of the North Burnett has long been shaped by the patient toil of those who work the soil and the grazings. Historically, it was the cattle stations that carved out an existence here, their fortunes tied to the rainfall and the market prices for prime beef. The creek itself, though not a raging torrent, has always been the lifeblood, its presence a promise of sustenance for livestock and a vital artery for the surrounding properties. Evidence of this pastoral heritage can be seen in the weathered timber fences that march across the paddocks and the sturdy, unpretentious homesteads that dot the horizon. Today, while cattle remain a significant part of the local economy, there's also a growing appreciation for the region's burgeoning wine industry, with small vineyards beginning to flourish, adding a new layer to the character of Branch Creek.

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 Branch Creek is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
