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 Taranganba, 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 Taranganba.
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.

Taranganba lies where the coastal plain begins its gentle swell towards the hinterland, a place where the air, even inland, carries the faint, clean tang of the sea. It lies 35.7 km north-east of Rockhampton City, QLD (from Rockhampton City, QLD: bearing 44°T), and is situated 2.8 km south-south-west of Yeppoon. The landscape here is a study in muted greens and ochres, a mosaic of dry grasses, scattered eucalyptus, and the occasional hardy acacia, all basking under a sky that often seems impossibly vast. The terrain is generally low-lying, punctuated by the occasional rocky outcrop that catches the late afternoon sun, turning to shades of amber and rose. During the build-up, a palpable humidity hangs heavy, a prelude to the dramatic skies that can gather and release their bounty, leaving the earth refreshed and the colours of the bush deepened.
Historically, Taranganba has been shaped by the fortunes of the land and its proximity to the coast, a place where livelihoods have been drawn from both the rich soils and the nearby waters. Early settlers, drawn by the promise of fertile ground, established farms that still dot the periphery, their fields a patchwork of cultivated crops against the wilder scrub. This agricultural heritage is woven into the fabric of Taranganba, though the local economy has also diversified, with a growing presence in service industries catering to the expanding population and the steady stream of travellers exploring the Capricorn Coast. The distinctive character of Taranganba is perhaps best felt in the quiet pace of its days, a comfortable rhythm that allows the subtle beauty of its surroundings to be truly appreciated.

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