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 Cannon 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.

Cannon Creek lies cradled by the rolling, verdant hills of the Scenic Rim, a landscape painted in a thousand shades of green, from the deep, shadowed emerald of the eucalypt forests to the softer, sun-kissed lime of the grazing paddocks. It lies 56.0 km south-south-west of Forest Lake, QLD (from Forest Lake, QLD: bearing 205°T), and is situated 10.0 km south-south-east of Boonah. The air here carries a peculiar stillness, a quiet invitation to pause, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the sharp cry of a kookaburra. Creeks, true to their name, thread through the land, their waters reflecting the vast, often startlingly blue Queensland sky, and in the late afternoon, the light softens, casting long, golden fingers across the undulating terrain, turning the ordinary into something touched by magic.
The character of Cannon Creek is deeply rooted in the land, a history etched not in grand monuments but in the patient tilling of soil and the enduring spirit of its people. For generations, this has been a place of agriculture and grazing, where hardy families have coaxed a living from the rich earth, their lives intertwined with the seasons and the fortunes of the livestock. While the broader region might boast of its burgeoning wine industry or its proximity to national parks, Cannon Creek itself retains a more understated charm, its economy a quiet hum of rural enterprise, a place where the rhythm of life is dictated by the sun and the rain, and where a neighbour’s handshake still holds a certain weight.

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