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 Glenarbon, Queensland, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views.

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 Glenarbon.
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.

Glenarbon unfolds across a landscape of broad, sun-kissed plains, where the earth, a rich ochre in the dry season, yields to the thirsty roots of native grasses and scattered stands of hardy brigalow. It lies 152.1 km south-west of Toowoomba City, QLD (from Toowoomba City, QLD: bearing 221°T), and is situated 26.0 km south-south-west of Inglewood. The sky here seems to possess an almost liquid quality, particularly in the late afternoon, when the light softens and stretches long shadows from the low-lying, weathered fences that delineate the properties. A gentle breeze, carrying the dry scent of dust and sun-baked earth, rustles through the sparse foliage, a constant, subtle murmur that speaks of the vastness and quiet endurance of this country. The character of Glenarbon is one of wide-open spaces, a sense of patient waiting for the sky to break and bring life-giving rain, a stillness that allows the subtle shifts of the day and season to be keenly felt.
The story of Glenarbon is deeply intertwined with the pastoral heritage of the region, its existence a testament to the enduring efforts of those who have coaxed a living from this land through sheep and cattle grazing. While the days of large-scale wool production have evolved, the spirit of the grazier remains, a practical resilience in the face of unpredictable weather. The local economy still breathes with the cycles of the land, the sale yards and the trucking of livestock a familiar pulse. In its quiet way, Glenarbon carries the weight of generations who have understood the land’s moods, a history etched not in grand monuments, but in the enduring fences, the well-worn tracks, and the quiet understanding between the people and the country they inhabit.

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