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 Cunnamulla, Queensland, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views.

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 Cunnamulla.
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.

Cunnamulla sits on the edge of the vast, red earth, a scattering of buildings braving the persistent Queensland sun. It lies 546.9 km north-north-west of Dubbo, NSW (from Dubbo, NSW: bearing 329°T), and is situated 73.6 km east-north-east of Eulo. The landscape here is a study in muted ochres and dusty greens, where hardy mulga scrub and spinifex cling to the sandy plains. The sky, an immense canvas of blue, stretches to horizons that seem to ripple with heat haze, and the air itself carries the dry scent of baked earth and distant livestock. The Paroo River, though often a whisper rather than a roar, is the lifeblood, its willows and lignum a stark contrast to the surrounding aridness, offering a cool, green fringe in this sun-drenched expanse.
The story of Cunnamulla is written in wool bales and the patient endurance of those who have coaxed a living from this challenging country. Once a bustling transport hub for the surrounding sheep stations, its economy still leans heavily on grazing, the vast properties stretching out like patchwork quilts across the land. The railway that once brought prosperity has long since gone, leaving behind a quietude that allows the town to breathe its own unhurried rhythm. Travellers passing through often pause, drawn by the promise of a cool drink at the local pub or the chance to explore the Outback Tree of Knowledge, a testament to the thirst for learning even in the remotest corners.

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