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 Murgon, 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 Murgon.
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.

Murgon settles into the South Burnett as a quiet sentinel, its landscape painted in the muted ochres and dusty greens of the Queensland interior. It lies 72.7 km west of Gympie, QLD (from Gympie, QLD: bearing 265°T), and is situated 9.2 km north-east of Wondai. Rolling hills, softened by the passage of seasons, give way to flatter plains where scattered timbers stand sentinel against the vast, pale blue sky. The air here carries a dry warmth, tinged with the scent of sun-baked earth and the subtle perfume of eucalyptus, a constant, gentle caress on the skin. Even the shadows seem to possess a certain weight, stretching long and languid across the paddocks as the day begins to yield to evening, painting the world in hues of honey and rose.
This is a place where the echoes of pastoral enterprise are deeply ingrained, a legacy born from the rich soils that have long sustained its agricultural heartbeat. Murgon's economy has historically been tied to the land, with cattle grazing and the cultivation of crops like peanuts and barley shaping its character and providing a steady rhythm to life. The town itself is a hub for the surrounding farming communities, a place where the day’s work often spills into the early evening at the local pub or the general store. Visitors might notice the enduring spirit of resilience, a quiet pride in the hard work that has kept Murgon thriving through the years, a testament to the enduring connection between its people and the generous, yet demanding, Queensland countryside.

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