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

Dunk lies at the edge of a vast, shimmering ocean, where the land surrenders to the relentless embrace of the sea. It lies 157.2 km north-north-west of Townsville City, QLD (from Townsville City, QLD: bearing 334°T), and is situated 12.0 km south-south-east of Wongaling Beach. The air here is thick with the scent of salt and the damp earth, a humid breath that clings to everything, softening the edges of the tropical green. Palm fronds, heavy with moisture, sway with a languid grace against a sky that can shift from an intense, bleached blue to a bruised, dramatic grey in a matter of hours. The terrain is a mosaic of low-lying plains and gentle rises, fringed by mangrove-lined inlets and the occasional, insistent push of rainforest striving for the coast. The sunlight, when it breaks through, has a liquid quality, pooling on the wet roads and glinting off the polished leaves of the abundant vegetation.
This is a place shaped by the ebb and flow of the tides and the rich, dark soil that has drawn sustenance from the volcanic past. For generations, the bounty of the sea and the fertile earth have sustained its inhabitants, with sugarcane fields stretching towards the horizon, their emerald stalks whispering secrets of the seasons. Historically, Dunk was a vital hub for the surrounding agricultural district, a place where produce was loaded onto boats bound for distant markets, the slow rhythm of the harbour dictating the pace of life. Today, while still connected to the land, a quiet tourism has begun to weave itself into the local fabric, drawn by the promise of pristine waters and the unhurried charm that defines Dunk.

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