Explore Miriwinni, Queensland, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Miriwinni, 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 Miriwinni, 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 Miriwinni.
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.

Miriwinni emerges from the lush, verdant plains between the bold silhouettes of the Bellenden Ker Range and the Coral Sea, where the air hangs heavy with the scent of damp earth and crushed cane. It lies 227.5 km north-north-west of Townsville City, QLD (from Townsville City, QLD: bearing 335°T), and is situated 7.6 km south-south-west of Babinda. The mountains rise with a sudden, jagged authority, their peaks often snagging the passing clouds and spilling grey veils of rain across the lowlands. Beneath this dramatic backdrop, the landscape is defined by a meticulous geometry of green, where the fields stretch out in orderly rows that catch the low, honeyed light of late afternoon. At dusk, the shadows lengthen across the bitumen, and the humidity softens the edges of the world, turning the distant slopes into deep, bruised purples that seem to exhale the heat of the day back into the cooling valley.
Sugar cane has long dictated the pulse of life in Miriwinni, its cycle of planting and harvest marking the seasons more reliably than any calendar. Heavy machinery rumbles through the thoroughfares during the crushing season, a mechanical heartbeat that connects the local growers to the sprawling mills of the region. This industry remains the bedrock of the local economy, a persistent tradition that demands a rugged sort of endurance from those who work the soil. Miriwinni sits comfortably in the shadow of the peaks, a place where the pace is set by the slow growth of the crop and the sudden, fierce urgency of the tropical wet season. Residents move with a quiet, practiced ease, acknowledging the persistent presence of the mountains that hold the moisture in, ensuring the land remains a vibrant, emerald anchor against the changing tides of the modern world.

Detailed location data for Miriwinni includes the postcode, telephone area code (07). 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 Miriwinni is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
