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 Tamrookum 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.

Tamrookum Creek winds through a landscape sculpted by ancient earth and the patient hand of water. It lies 54.5 km south-west of Upper Coomera, QLD (from Upper Coomera, QLD: bearing 233°T), and is situated 10.8 km south of Kooralbyn. The land here rises in gentle, rounded hills, cloaked in a verdant tapestry of eucalypt forest and pasture, where the air carries the faint, sweet scent of wildflowers after rain. Sunlight, when it breaks through the canopy, falls in broad, golden shafts, illuminating the rich, red soil that underpins the region. Creeks, like Tamrookum Creek itself, are the lifeblood, their banks often fringed with weeping figs and wattles, their murmuring a constant, low-pitched song against the quietude of the countryside. The sky above is a vast, ever-changing canvas, often a startling, clear blue, but capable of darkening with dramatic storm clouds that bring the welcome relief of a summer downpour.
The history of Tamrookum Creek is deeply entwined with the pastoral traditions of this corner of the Scenic Rim. For generations, the rolling hills have provided prime grazing land, supporting herds of cattle that are a familiar sight against the green slopes. This economic backbone, while enduring, has also seen a diversification, with small vineyards beginning to dot the landscape, their rows of vines catching the afternoon sun and hinting at a growing reputation for local produce. Evidence of earlier human presence is subtle, found in the very contours of the land, a testament to the long stewardship of the Indigenous custodians who understood the rhythms of this place. Today, the pace of life at Tamrookum Creek is measured, dictated more by the seasons and the needs of the land than by the clamour of the outside world, fostering a quiet sense of community amongst its inhabitants.

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