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

Drewvale rests in a gentle embrace of Queensland's undulating terrain, where the air, particularly in the late afternoon, carries a faint, earthy sweetness, a whisper of damp soil and sun-baked grass. It lies 9.3 km east-south-east of Forest Lake, QLD (from Forest Lake, QLD: bearing 109°T), and is situated 6.0 km south of Sunnybank Hills. The landscape here is a subtle interplay of green, a mosaic of manicured lawns giving way to the wilder, more resilient scrub that climbs the low ridges framing the horizon. Streetlights begin to hum, casting a warm, amber glow that softens the edges of suburban homes, and the distant rumble of traffic on a main artery is a constant, low thrum, a reminder of the larger world just beyond Drewvale's quietude. The sky, a vast canvas overhead, often displays a dramatic theatre of colour as the sun dips, bleeding hues of rose and amethyst across the western expanse, a daily spectacle that paints the rooftops in fleeting, ethereal light.
Historically, the land around Drewvale was shaped by agricultural pursuits, the rich, dark soil yielding crops that sustained early settlers and formed the backbone of the local economy. Remnants of this past can still be glimpsed in the occasional remnant eucalyptus stand, a stoic sentinel against the march of development, and in the very way the streets seem to follow the contours of the land, as if guided by the old farm tracks. While the primary industry has shifted, with Drewvale now a thriving residential hub for many working in neighbouring urban centres, a certain robust self-reliance persists, a quiet pride in the ability to cultivate one's own patch, whether it be a vegetable garden bursting with produce or a meticulously kept front yard. This enduring spirit is the quiet character of Drewvale, a place that honours its past without being beholden to it, its present a comfortable blend of established neighbourhoods and the gentle hum of everyday life.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Drewvale, Queensland. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Drewvale, in the Brisbane City local government area.
Detailed location data for Drewvale includes the postcode (4116), telephone area code (07), and local government area (Brisbane City), with an ABS remoteness classification of Major Cities of Australia. 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 Drewvale is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
