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 Thane, 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 Thane.
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.

Thane breathes the dry, crisp air of the Southern Downs, a landscape painted in ochre and muted greens where rolling hills, softened by generations of grazing, eventually yield to the steeper, darker ridges of the Dividing Range. It lies 71.1 km south-south-west of Toowoomba City, QLD (from Toowoomba City, QLD: bearing 200°T), and is situated 29.1 km west-north-west of Rosenthal Heights. The sky here is a vast, unblemished canvas, particularly in the late afternoon when the sun dips low, casting long, theatrical shadows that lend a fleeting, almost melancholic grandeur to the scattered homesteads and fences. The very soil seems to hold the memory of ancient winds, a fine dust that clings to everything, a constant reminder of the elemental forces that shape this corner of Queensland. The scattered trees, mostly eucalyptus and acacia, stand like stoic sentinels against the expansive horizons, their leaves rustling with a dry, papery whisper that is the constant soundtrack to life in Thane.
The prosperity of Thane has long been tethered to the land, its economy a sturdy blend of sheep and cattle grazing, the wool and meat finding their way to markets far beyond the immediate horizon. For many years, the rhythm of life was dictated by the seasons and the needs of the livestock, a quiet, enduring tradition that has shaped the character of its inhabitants. The railway line, a vital artery in days gone by, still traces its path through the region, a silent monument to a more bustling era, though its carriages now carry fewer passengers and more freight. There is a subtle resilience in Thane, a quiet strength forged in the face of isolation and the capricious nature of weather, a spirit that endures even as the world outside evolves at an ever-increasing pace.

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