Explore Coalfalls, Queensland, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Coalfalls, QLD 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 Coalfalls, 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.
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).

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 Coalfalls.
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.

Coalfalls lies cradled by the undulating, iron-rich country west of Brisbane, where the soft, humid air carries the scent of eucalyptus and damp earth. It lies 22.0 km west of Forest Lake, QLD (from Forest Lake, QLD: bearing 274°T), and is situated 11.9 km west-north-west of Redbank Plains. The landscape is a patchwork of rolling hills, their slopes often dusted with the ochre tones of the soil, interspersed with pockets of remnant bushland that whisper of a wilder past. A fine, almost imperceptible grit from the earth seems to settle on everything, a constant reminder of the land's geological makeup. The sky above Coalfalls often holds a luminous quality, particularly in the late afternoon, when the sun bleeds a warm, golden hue across the horizon, painting the scattered farmhouse roofs and grazing paddocks with a gentle, ephemeral glow.
The story of Coalfalls is intrinsically tied to the earth beneath its feet, its very name a testament to the mineral wealth that once defined its existence. Though the era of significant coal extraction has largely passed, the echoes of that industrious past can still be felt in the character of the place and the enduring spirit of its residents. The local economy, while diversified, still retains a connection to the land, with pockets of agriculture and grazing continuing to dot the surrounding countryside. The Ipswich City Council area, of which Coalfalls is a part, has seen this region evolve, moving from a primary reliance on resource extraction to a more balanced approach, yet the memory of the mines, of the grit and the labour, remains a significant thread in Coalfalls' narrative.

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