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 Split Yard Creek, 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 Split Yard 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.

Split Yard Creek winds through rolling country, where the land begins its gentle descent towards the Lockyer Valley. It lies 34.6 km south-west of Narangba, QLD (from Narangba, QLD: bearing 232°T), and is situated 12.9 km north-east of Lowood. The air here carries the scent of sun-baked earth and eucalyptus, a dry perfume that clings to the skin. Paddocks of emerald pasture, dotted with the darker greens of scattered trees, stretch towards a horizon softened by the hazy glow of the Queensland afternoon. Fences, some of weathered timber and others of taut wire, delineate fields where cattle graze with a placid indifference to the passage of time. The creek itself, when it runs, is a ribbon of ochre and silver, its banks lined with hardy paperbarks and occasional stands of native grasses that rustle with a dry, papery whisper.
Historically, the area around Split Yard Creek has been shaped by its agricultural potential, a legacy evident in the enduring presence of grazing properties and small-scale farming operations. The rich soil, nourished by the creek's infrequent flows, has supported generations of families who have worked the land, their lives dictated by the seasons and the capricious Queensland climate. While no major industries dominate, a quiet self-sufficiency defines the local economy, with produce often sold at roadside stalls or local markets. The character of Split Yard Creek is one of understated resilience, a place where the land dictates the pace and the sky, a vast canvas of blues and golds, presides over all.

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 Split Yard Creek is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
