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 Kinnoul, 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 Kinnoul.
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.

Kinnoul rests within the gentle embrace of the Banana Shire, its landscape a study in earthy tones under a vast Queensland sky. It lies 274.4 km south-south-west of Rockhampton City, QLD (from Rockhampton City, QLD: bearing 201°T), and is situated 37.0 km west of Taroom. The country here is a patchwork of grazing land, where the ochre-coloured soil yields to swathes of dry grass that whisper secrets to the infrequent breeze. Distant hills, softened by the haze of heat, form a hazy horizon, their contours blurred as if sketched by a tired hand. The air carries the faint, dry scent of eucalyptus and warm earth, a scent that settles deep in the lungs, speaking of timeless cycles. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-clear skies, has a peculiar quality, a luminous intensity that seems to bleach the very colour from the landscape, leaving behind subtle variations of pale gold and muted green.
The history of Kinnoul is deeply entwined with the pastoral pulse of the region, a legacy etched into the very character of the land. For generations, this country has sustained cattle grazing, the backbone of its local economy, with hardy breeds thriving on the sparse but resilient pastures. While not a place of grand monuments, Kinnoul possesses a quiet dignity, a testament to the enduring spirit of those who have worked this soil. The rhythm of life here is dictated by the seasons and the needs of the land, a far cry from the frantic pace of urban centres. Travellers passing through might notice the sturdy, functional buildings that mark the scattered homesteads and the small cluster of facilities that serve the local community, each element a practical response to the demands of isolation and self-reliance.

Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Kinnoul, 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 Kinnoul is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
