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

Cooladdi rests in a landscape where the earth breathes a dry, resonant silence. It lies 615.4 km south-west of Rockhampton City, QLD (from Rockhampton City, QLD: bearing 233°T), and is situated 79.1 km west-south-west of Charleville. The land here is a study in muted ochre and pale gold, stretching under a vast, indifferent sky that often burns a fierce, cerulean blue. Low-lying mulga scrub, tenacious and gnarled, clings to the cracked soil, interspersed with the starker silhouettes of ghost gums, their pale bark peeling like ancient parchment. The air itself feels thin and sharp, carrying the scent of dry grass and the subtle mineral tang of the earth, especially as the sun begins its slow descent, painting the western horizon with washes of rose and bruised plum. The character of Cooladdi is etched into this patient, enduring terrain, a place where life moves to the unhurried cadence of the seasons.
This is a locality woven from the threads of pastoral history and the enduring spirit of those who have worked this often unforgiving land. For generations, sheep grazing has been the bedrock of the local economy, the wool clipping a vital commodity that has sustained families and shaped the very identity of Cooladdi. The railway, once a lifeline, now stands as a silent testament to a bygone era, its disused tracks a silver scar across the plains, hinting at the journeys and livelihoods it once facilitated. Travellers might find a quiet charm in the unassuming buildings, the general store a hub of quiet conversation, and the local pub a repository of stories passed down through the years, a place where the day’s dust is washed away with a shared tale or a friendly nod. Cooladdi, though small, carries the weight of its past, a place where the echoes of resilience are as palpable as the dry heat on your skin.

Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Cooladdi, in the Murweh Shire local government area.

These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
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 Cooladdi is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
