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 Caroline Crossing.
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.

Caroline Crossing lies cradled by the vast, undulating plains of the Murweh Shire, a landscape where the horizon stretches an almost impossible distance. It lies 440.5 km south-west of Rockhampton City, QLD (from Rockhampton City, QLD: bearing 233°T), and is situated 41.2 km east-north-east of Augathella. The earth here is a rich, reddish-brown, broken only by the hardy spinifex and the occasional hardy acacia, their branches reaching like skeletal fingers towards a sky that burns with an intense, unwavering blue for much of the year. The air itself feels thin and dry, carrying the subtle scent of sun-baked earth and the distant, sweet perfume of eucalyptus. In the late afternoon, as the sun begins its slow descent, the land transforms, the shadows lengthening and deepening, painting the country in strokes of ochre and violet, a quiet spectacle for any traveller who pauses to watch.
The history of Caroline Crossing is deeply entwined with the pastoral industry, the vast sheep stations that once defined this region now a part of its enduring character, though many have since adapted to cattle grazing. The very name whispers of a crossing point, a place where travellers and stock would have found respite on their journeys across this formidable terrain, a notion that still resonates in the welcoming, if sparse, hospitality offered to those who pass through. While the economy remains largely tied to the land, with wool and beef production forming its backbone, there’s a resilient spirit evident in the local businesses, a quiet determination to thrive in a place that demands much from its inhabitants. The general store, a hub of local life, often buzzes with conversation, a testament to the enduring sense of community that binds Caroline Crossing together.

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 Caroline Crossing is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
