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 Hendra, 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 Hendra.
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.

Hendra lies in the gentle embrace of Brisbane's eastern fringe, a landscape where the urban hum begins to soften into a more subdued cadence. It lies 7.3 km north-east of Brisbane City, QLD (from Brisbane City, QLD: bearing 37°T), and is situated 11.7 km south-south-east of Bracken Ridge. Here, the land rises and falls in subtle swells, not dramatic peaks but the kind of terrain that suggests a long, quiet shaping by water and wind. Broad avenues, lined with established trees whose leaves rustle with a dry, papery sound, give way to streets where manicured lawns and older Queenslander homes speak of a settled life. The air often carries a faint, sweet scent, a blend of blooming jasmine and the distant, salty tang from the harbour, a reminder of the city's maritime heart just a few kilometres away. This is a place where the afternoon light, particularly as it slants towards dusk, casts long, soft shadows, lending a golden hue to the weathered timber and terracotta roofs, a quiet beauty in the ordinary.
The history of Hendra is entwined with the development of Brisbane itself, a story of subdivision and suburban growth that began in earnest in the late 19th century. Once part of larger pastoral holdings, the land was gradually parcelled out, attracting families seeking a life that offered a connection to open space while remaining close to the burgeoning city centre. The local economy, though now largely residential and commercial, retains echoes of its past, with pockets of market gardens that still thrive, supplying fresh produce to neighbouring suburbs. Hendra's distinctive character is also shaped by its proximity to significant institutions, including the Eagle Farm Racecourse, a landmark that has hosted generations of racing enthusiasts and contributes a unique rhythm to the area on race days. The presence of these established features, alongside the everyday commerce and the quiet hum of residential life, creates a layered identity for Hendra, a suburb that has grown and evolved while holding onto a sense of its own enduring place.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Hendra, 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 Hendra, in the Brisbane City local government area.
Detailed location data for Hendra includes the postcode (4011), telephone area code (07), and local government area (Brisbane City), with an ABS remoteness classification of Major Cities of Australia. These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or 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 Hendra is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
