Explore The Gabba, Queensland, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the The Gabba, QLD map and move it around to re-centre it. 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 The Gabba, Queensland, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).

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 The Gabba.
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.

The Gabba is a locality in Queensland, Australia. It sits at an elevation of around 9 m above sea level. It lies approximately 2 km south-east of Brisbane. The Gabba is located at 27.4858°S, 153.0381°E. It observes Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST) - no daylight saving.
The Gabba dominates the Woolloongabba landscape as a vast, circular amphitheatre of light and steel, rising abruptly from the low-lying suburban sprawl of Brisbane. It lies 2.1 km south-east of Brisbane City, QLD (from Brisbane City, QLD: bearing 145°T), and is situated 12.1 km north of Sunnybank Hills. Its towering floodlights pierce the humid evening air like sentinels, casting long, dramatic shadows across the surrounding bitumen and brick-fronted shops that have held their ground for generations. When the sun dips behind the western ridges, the sky bruises into shades of violet and burnt orange, catching the polished surfaces of the stadium’s modern roof and turning the structure into a shimmering crown. Inside, the pitch—a verdant, meticulously manicured oval—retains the scent of crushed grass and cooling earth, a quiet contrast to the cacophony that erupts when the crowd finds its voice.
The Gabba serves as a living ledger of Queensland’s sporting obsession, having evolved from a swampy, reclaimed cricket ground into a premier international arena. Its legacy is tied to the rhythmic pulse of the local economy, where the influx of thousands of spectators creates a temporary, frenetic commerce that ripples through the nearby cafes and heritage-listed pubs. Beyond the turnstiles, the neighbourhood bears the marks of a century of transformation, where Victorian-era terraces and timber workers’ cottages sit in the shadow of rapid urban density. The air here often carries the faint, metallic tang of the nearby rail lines, a reminder of the industrial veins that once fed the city’s growth. In the quiet hours between major events, the streets regain a measured pace, though the atmosphere remains heavy with the anticipation of the next match, a perpetual cycle of triumph and defeat that defines the character of this iconic ground.

Detailed location data for The Gabba includes the postcode, telephone area code (07). 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 The Gabba is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
