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 Wujal Wujal.
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.

Wujal Wujal lies cradled by the ancient rainforests of Far North Queensland, where the land rises steeply from the coastal plain towards the Atherton Tablelands. It lies 400.9 km north-north-west of Townsville City, QLD (from Townsville City, QLD: bearing 336°T), and is situated 56.8 km north of Mossman. Towering eucalyptus trees, their bark a mosaic of grey and white, mingle with the deep greens of ferns and cycads, creating a dense canopy that filters the tropical sun into shafts of dappled light. The air here is thick with the scent of damp earth and flowering blossoms, a humid perfume that clings to the skin. The Bloomfield River, a vital artery of this region, snakes its way through the landscape, its waters a shifting palette of jade and ochre, carrying the whispers of the surrounding country. The terrain is rugged, a testament to the immense geological forces that shaped this corner of Australia, with granite outcrops and volcanic soils contributing to the rich biodiversity.
The story of Wujal Wujal is deeply interwoven with the Kuku Yalanji people, the traditional custodians of this land, whose connection spans millennia. For generations, they have lived in harmony with this environment, drawing sustenance and spiritual meaning from its bounty. The local economy, while small, is intrinsically linked to the natural world, with tourism playing a significant role, drawing visitors to witness the spectacular waterfalls and the unique flora and fauna. The rumble of a passing vehicle on the unsealed road, a rare sound in this secluded place, is often the only interruption to the pervasive quiet, a quiet that allows the subtle sounds of the bush – the call of a kookaburra, the rustle of unseen creatures – to become more pronounced. The spirit of Wujal Wujal resides in this raw, untamed beauty and the enduring cultural heritage that continues to thrive.

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