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 Ghinghinda, 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 Ghinghinda.
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.

Ghinghinda rests in a gentle embrace of rolling hills that spill down towards the broad, slow-moving Fitzroy River. It lies 220.0 km south-south-west of Rockhampton City, QLD (from Rockhampton City, QLD: bearing 199°T), and is situated 43.7 km south-west of Theodore. The landscape here is a study in muted greens and ochres, where hardy eucalypts stand sentinel against a sky that often burns a brilliant, cloudless blue. The air, especially in the early morning, carries a faint, dry scent of sun-baked earth and the distant, sweet perfume of ripening fruit, a subtle promise of the region's bounty. The very texture of the land feels ancient and enduring, a testament to the persistent forces of sun and rain that have shaped its contours over millennia, leaving behind a quiet dignity in its unassuming beauty.
This is a place shaped by the enduring spirit of agriculture, where the rich alluvial soil of the Fitzroy has long been coaxed into yielding its harvest, particularly its namesake bananas, which lend their name to the wider shire. The history of Ghinghinda is etched not in grand monuments, but in the enduring lines of fences, the weathered timber of farmhouses, and the quiet hum of machinery that punctuates the day. For generations, the local economy has been anchored by the tireless work of those who tend the land, their lives interwoven with the cycles of planting and reaping. Even as modern conveniences arrive, a palpable sense of continuity persists, a quiet pride in the self-sufficiency and resilience that defines life in this corner of Queensland.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Ghinghinda, 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 Ghinghinda, in the Banana Shire local government area.

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