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 Mount Nathan, 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 Mount Nathan.
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.

Mount Nathan rises with a quiet dignity, its slopes cloaked in the verdant hum of subtropical rainforest. It lies 11.5 km south of Upper Coomera, QLD (from Upper Coomera, QLD: bearing 191°T), and is situated 13.3 km west of Southport. The air here carries the damp, earthy scent of decaying leaf litter and the subtle perfume of unseen blossoms, a constant reminder of the abundant life that thrives beneath the canopy. Broad-leafed ferns unfurl their intricate fronds, catching the filtered sunlight that breaks through the dense foliage, while ancient fig trees, their roots like gnarled knuckles, grip the rich soil. The land itself is a study in contrasts, a fertile embrace of undulating hills that gradually give way to steeper inclines, all sculpted by countless seasons of rain and sun.
Historically, Mount Nathan and its surrounding hinterland have been shaped by a pioneering spirit, first by those seeking sustenance from the fertile earth and later by those drawn to its potential for agricultural enterprise. Dairy farming once formed the backbone of the local economy, the rhythmic clang of milk pails echoing through the valleys, and while those days have largely passed, the legacy of that industrious past remains in the scattered remnants of old farmhouses and stone walls. Today, the character of Mount Nathan is a blend of rural tranquility and emerging lifestyle aspirations, with smaller farms and hobby properties now dotting the landscape, attracting a new wave of residents who appreciate the natural beauty and the slower pace of life. The occasional glimpse of a wallaby at dawn or the flash of a kingfisher by a hidden creek are small, intimate moments that speak to the enduring wildness at the heart of this place.

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 Mount Nathan is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
