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.

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 Eli Waters.
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.

Eli Waters breathes with the gentle exhalation of the coast, its landscape a soft transition from the encroaching blue of the Great Sandy Strait to the undulating, sun-drenched earth. It lies 30.3 km north-north-east of Maryborough, QLD (from Maryborough, QLD: bearing 21°T), and is situated 9.7 km west of Urangan. Here, the air carries a faint salinity, a constant reminder of the proximity to the ocean, and the light often falls with a buttery richness as the day begins to wane. The terrain is characterised by low-lying plains and gentle slopes, the land well-suited to its current character, a place of established homes and quiet streets, where the colours of bougainvillea spill over fences and the occasional rustle of palm fronds punctuates the stillness. It is a place that feels comfortably settled, where the pace of life seems to unspool with the tide, unhurried and sure.
The history of Eli Waters is intrinsically tied to the broader development of the Fraser Coast, an area long shaped by the rhythms of both land and sea. While the immediate locality has seen its modern growth as a residential haven, its past is echoed in the agricultural pursuits that once dominated the wider region, the fertile soils yielding their bounty. The local economy now leans towards services and tourism, catering to those drawn to the natural beauty of neighbouring Hervey Bay and the marine wonders of the nearby waters, a stark contrast to the earlier pastoral endeavours. It is a place where the present is built on the foundations of a practical, resourceful past, a quiet evolution that has brought Eli Waters to its present form.

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 Eli Waters is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
