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 Queenton, 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 Queenton.
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.

Queenton’s spirit is etched into the sun-baked earth, a place where the vast, pale sky stretches endlessly over a landscape of low, scrub-covered hills and the occasional hardy ghost gum. It lies 97.2 km south-south-west of Kirwan, QLD (from Kirwan, QLD: bearing 208°T), and is situated 2.0 km east of Charters Towers City. The air here carries a dry, mineral tang, a subtle reminder of the ancient geology that underpins everything. Even in the quiet hours, a certain stillness prevails, broken only by the rustle of dry grass underfoot or the distant, mournful cry of a bird of prey circling high above. The colours are muted – ochres, dusty greens, and the bleached whites of dry creek beds – but they possess a profound, enduring beauty, especially as the sun begins its descent, casting long, dramatic shadows and bathing the land in a warm, golden light.
Historically, Queenton pulsed with the feverish energy of the gold rush, a time when fortunes were sought and dreams were forged in the unforgiving earth. While the grand days of reef mining have long receded, the legacy of that era lingers, a ghost in the weathered timber of older buildings and the faint traces of forgotten workings in the surrounding hills. Today, the local economy is more sedate, a blend of cattle grazing on the sprawling properties that fan out from the centre and a small but resilient agricultural sector, coaxing sustenance from the tenacious soil. Travellers might find themselves drawn to the quiet charm of Queenton, a place that offers a genuine glimpse into the enduring character of the Queensland outback, a character shaped by resilience and a deep connection to the land.

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