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 Ferny Glen.
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.

Ferny Glen rests in a fold of the Scenic Rim, where the land rises in a gentle, persistent swell towards the ancient volcanic ramparts. It lies 23.0 km west of Robina, QLD (from Robina, QLD: bearing 269°T), and is situated 14.5 km south-south-west of Tamborine Mountain. The air here carries the damp, earthy scent of eucalypt and rainforest, a fragrance deepened by the frequent mists that drift through the valleys, softening the edges of the world. Hills, cloaked in a dense, varied green, tumble into narrow gullies, their slopes etched with the tracks of unseen creatures and the occasional gleam of water. The light, even on a clear day, possesses a certain diffused quality, as if filtered through the broad leaves of ferns that give the place its name. Small farms, their paddocks a patchwork of emerald and gold depending on the season, cling to the gentler gradients, their roofs like scattered embers against the verdant backdrop.
The history of Ferny Glen is one of quiet persistence, a story told in the enduring rhythm of the land. For generations, this locality has been shaped by the bounty of its fertile soil, supporting dairy herds and a variety of small-scale agriculture. The legacy of these farming families, their hands calloused from coaxing sustenance from the earth, is still visible in the sturdy fences and the well-worn paths that crisscross the landscape. While not defined by a single grand industry, the local economy thrives on a blend of agricultural produce, often sold at regional markets, and a growing tourism that draws visitors seeking the peace and natural beauty of the Scenic Rim. The character of Ferny Glen is one of understated resilience, a place where the past is not a monument but a living presence, felt in the texture of the soil and the unhurried way of life.

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 Ferny Glen is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
