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 Monarch Glen, 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 Monarch Glen.
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.

It lies 22.3 km south-south-west of Forest Lake, QLD (from Forest Lake, QLD: bearing 193°T), and is situated 14.9 km south of Springfield Lakes. The land here is a patchwork of greens and ochres, a testament to the fertile soil that spills from the gently sloping terrain, catching the sunlight in a way that paints the landscape with a warm, earthy hue. Scattered stands of gum trees, their bark peeling in papery strips, punctuate the paddocks, their branches reaching skyward like an ancient, silent prayer. The air itself carries a faint, dry scent of sun-baked earth and eucalypt, a fragrance that seems to settle deep within the lungs. Occasionally, the steady drone of a distant tractor or the bleating of sheep drifts on the breeze, the only sounds to break the profound quiet.
The story of Monarch Glen is one of resilience, etched into the very character of its people and their connection to the land. For generations, this place has been shaped by the rhythms of agriculture, its economy tied to the bounty of the soil, coaxing forth crops that have sustained families and fed the nation. The legacy of early settlers, who carved their lives from this country with grit and determination, is still palpable, a quiet pride that underpins the local spirit. While the days might feel unhurried, there’s a constant hum of activity in the processing sheds and the local markets, a testament to the enduring agricultural heart of Monarch Glen. Visitors often remark on the clarity of the light, particularly in the late afternoon, when the setting sun casts long, amber shadows that seem to stretch the very essence of time.

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 Monarch Glen is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
