Explore Mentmore, Queensland, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Mentmore, QLD map and move it around to re-centre it. 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 Mentmore, 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.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 Mentmore.
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.

Mentmore rests under a vast Queensland sky, its landscape a study in muted greens and ochres under the relentless sun. It lies 64.1 km north-west of Mackay, QLD (from Mackay, QLD: bearing 312°T), and is situated 28.5 km north-west of Seaforth. The terrain rolls gently, a subtle undulation of dry earth supporting hardy grasses and scattered acacia, the air often thick with the scent of sun-baked dust and eucalyptus. Distant hills, hazy in the heat, form a soft backdrop to the sparse clusters of buildings, their corrugated iron roofs glinting like scattered coins. The light here has a peculiar quality, especially as day begins to fade, casting long, theatrical shadows that stretch and distort the familiar shapes of the land, a quiet beauty that seeps into the very stillness of the place.
This corner of the Mackay region, once traversed by those seeking fortunes in the earth, now hums with the steady pulse of agriculture and grazing. The echoes of a mining past are faint, mere whispers in the quietude, but the enduring spirit of resilience remains, a characteristic etched into the faces of the people who call Mentmore home. The local economy, though modest, is sustained by the careful tending of the land, the cultivation of crops and the raising of livestock, a life lived in close communion with the seasons. It’s a place where time seems to move at a more deliberate pace, where the vastness of the surrounding country encourages a sense of perspective, and where the simple act of watching the sunset can feel like a profound event.

Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Mentmore, in the Mackay Regional local government area.

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