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 Pony Hills, 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 Pony Hills.
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.

Pony Hills unfolds across a landscape of rolling plains, where the earth, a rich ochre, seems to sigh under the vast Queensland sky. It lies 319.5 km south-south-west of Rockhampton City, QLD (from Rockhampton City, QLD: bearing 209°T), and is situated 76.9 km north-north-east of Roma. The air here carries a dry, clean scent, punctuated by the sharp fragrance of eucalyptus and the fainter, sweeter perfume of wild herbs that cling to the sparse, hardy grasses. Distant mesas, softened by the haze of heat, punctuate the horizon, their forms blurring into the pale blue expanse as the afternoon sun begins its slow descent, casting long, languid shadows that stretch and deepen across the undulating terrain. The scattered sheep, like small, white stones, dot the paddocks, their bleating a faint, persistent murmur against the profound silence.
The character of Pony Hills is deeply entwined with the enduring spirit of its pastoral heritage. For generations, the land has yielded its bounty primarily through grazing, with hardy Merino sheep flourishing on the tough vegetation, their wool a vital commodity that once travelled far beyond these horizons. Echoes of a more robust, perhaps rougher, era linger in the weathered timber of the few remaining homesteads, their verandahs bleached by relentless sun and wind. The local economy, while still tethered to the land, has seen subtle shifts; a small but determined cluster of local businesses caters to the needs of the scattered residents and the occasional traveller, their operations carrying the quiet resilience of a place that understands the value of self-sufficiency. The rhythm of life in Pony Hills is dictated by the seasons and the land, a slow, deliberate cadence that allows for contemplation and a deep connection to the enduring Australian bush.

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 Pony Hills is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
