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 Fig Tree Pocket.
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.

Fig Tree Pocket lives where the Brisbane River bends, a swathe of green carved by the water's patient work. It lies 9.1 km south-west of Brisbane City, QLD (from Brisbane City, QLD: bearing 224°T), and is situated 10.1 km north of Forest Lake. Here, the land rises and falls with a gentle confidence, cloaked in eucalyptus and the dense, dark green of its namesake trees. The air, especially as the sun begins its slow descent, carries a damp, earthy scent, a promise of coolness after the day's heat, and the rustle of leaves seems to whisper secrets of the earth. The landscape is a study in contrasts: broad, open spaces where the river glints like a dropped coin, giving way to shadowed gullies and the dense undergrowth that shelters unseen creatures. It is a place where the sky feels vast, a canvas for the shifting colours of the Australian light, and the quiet hum of insects forms a constant, unobtrusive soundtrack.
This pocket of Brisbane holds a history tied to the land and its agricultural promise. Early settlers saw the fertile soil along the riverbanks, a place suitable for cultivation, and though the days of large-scale farming have largely receded, the echoes remain in the names of streets and the enduring character of the place. Fig Tree Pocket’s economy now thrives on a different kind of growth, one that centres on its desirability as a residential haven, a place where families seek the blend of natural beauty and urban convenience. The river, once a highway for trade and transport, now serves as a vital recreational artery, its banks a popular destination for walkers and cyclists, a testament to the enduring relationship between the people and the water that defines this unique 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 Fig Tree Pocket is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
