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 Nine Mile Creek.
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.

Nine Mile Creek lies under a sky that often holds a luminous, bruised quality at dusk, a spectacle that paints the sparse vegetation in hues of ochre and deep indigo. It lies 39.1 km south-south-west of Rockhampton City, QLD (from Rockhampton City, QLD: bearing 191°T), and is situated 9.9 km south-south-east of Mount Morgan. The landscape here is a study in resilience, a gently undulating plain where hardy grasses, bleached to the colour of old linen by the sun, cling to the dry earth. Scattered stands of ghost gums, their bark peeling like sunburnt skin, offer the only significant shade, their skeletal branches reaching towards the vast, indifferent expanse. The air itself carries a dry, dusty scent, occasionally mingled with the faint, sweet perfume of unseen wildflowers that bloom in defiant bursts after the infrequent rains.
The story of Nine Mile Creek is tied to the ebb and flow of pastoral fortunes, a place where sheep once grazed in their thousands, their wool a vital part of Queensland's early economy. The land, though seemingly unforgiving, has always yielded its bounty, albeit with a struggle, to those who understood its rhythms. Echoes of this past can be found in the weathered fences that stretch towards the horizon and the occasional rusting remnant of agricultural machinery, silent monuments to generations of hard work. Today, a more diversified approach sustains Nine Mile Creek, with a focus on cattle grazing and a growing appreciation for the quiet beauty of the region, drawing a different kind of traveller seeking an authentic taste of the Queensland interior.

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 Nine Mile Creek is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
