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 Kin Kin, 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 Kin Kin.
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.

Kin Kin breathes a quiet, verdant life, its rolling hills a patchwork of emerald pastures and deep, shadowy rainforest. It lies 22.5 km east-south-east of Gympie, QLD (from Gympie, QLD: bearing 112°T), and is situated 11.6 km north of Pomona. The air here carries the damp, earthy scent of rich soil, a constant reminder of the fecundity of the land, and when the sun dips low, it paints the western sky in hues of bruised plum and molten gold, casting long, ethereal shadows across the undulating terrain. This is a place where the land itself seems to hum with a low, contented energy, a gentle thrum that resonates from the ancient volcanic slopes down to the winding creeks that thread through the valleys. The character of Kin Kin is one of peaceful resilience, a place where the elements have shaped not just the landscape but the very spirit of its inhabitants, fostering a quiet self-reliance and a deep connection to the natural world.
The story of Kin Kin is written in its agricultural roots, a legacy stretching back to pioneering families who cleared the dense bush to coax sustenance from the fertile ground. Dairy farming once dominated the local economy, its creamy output a vital contributor to the region's prosperity, and though the landscape has shifted, the spirit of working the land endures. Today, small farms continue to dot the hills, producing everything from avocados and macadamias to honey, their produce often finding its way to local markets and the kitchens of neighbouring towns. The Kin Kin Road, a ribbon of bitumen connecting the hinterland to the coast, serves as a vital artery, carrying travellers and produce alike, and it's along this route that one can glimpse the enduring heart of this agricultural community, a place that continues to thrive on the bounty of the earth.

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