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 Bucasia, Queensland, 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.

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 Bucasia.
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.

Bucasia lies where the coastal plains of Queensland begin to unfurl, a low-slung settlement cradled by the warm embrace of the Coral Sea. It lies 12.5 km north-north-west of Mackay, QLD (from Mackay, QLD: bearing 343°T), and is situated 7.4 km north-north-west of Andergrove. The air here carries the perpetual scent of salt and damp earth, a humid perfume that clings to everything. Palm fronds, heavy with the promise of rain, rustle against weathered fibro houses, their colours softened by the persistent tropical sun. The land itself is a study in gentle gradients, a subtle rise from the flat expanse of mangroves and tidal flats towards a backdrop of distant, hazy hills. Even the shadows seem to possess a certain languid quality, stretching long and slow across the dusty verges and the patches of hardy coastal grass.
The story of Bucasia is tied intrinsically to the rich volcanic soils that once nurtured vast sugarcane plantations, a legacy that still whispers through the occasional stand of mature cane bordering the newer residential developments. While the agricultural boom of yesteryear has yielded to a more diversified local economy, with many residents commuting to the larger centres nearby, the deep-rooted connection to the land remains. Fishing boats bob in the sheltered waters, their nets a familiar sight against the shimmering surface of the sea, a quiet testament to the enduring bounty of the coast. Bucasia’s character is one of quiet resilience, a place where the rhythm of the tides and the relentless cycle of the tropical seasons dictate the pace of life, offering a tranquil counterpoint to the bustling energy of its neighbouring city.

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