Explore Andrews, South Australia, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Andrews, SA 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 Andrews, South Australia, 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).
Drag the map to pan to any area of South Australia or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Andrews and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Andrews.
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.

Andrews sprawls across a broad, sun-baked plain, where the earth, a deep ochre, cracks with a thirst that seems to have lasted for millennia. It lies 110.1 km north of Gawler, SA (from Gawler, SA: bearing 355°T), and is situated 25.5 km north of Clare. Low, rugged hills, cloaked in hardy scrub and scattered gums, form a protective, almost watchful, perimeter, their ancient forms softened by the hazy Australian light. The air here carries a dry, mineral tang, a whisper of the vast, untamed country that stretches in every direction, broken only by the occasional shimmer of heat rising from the parched earth. A profound stillness often settles over Andrews, a quietude that amplifies the rustle of dry grasses and the distant bleat of sheep, a sound that seems to carry the very essence of this starkly beautiful landscape.
The history of Andrews is etched into the very bones of the land, a story of resilience and adaptation. This was once a place where the pastoral leaseholders carved out a living from the tough terrain, their sheep and cattle finding scant but vital sustenance. Later, the promise of mineral wealth, though perhaps not as abundant as elsewhere, brought a transient surge of activity, leaving behind faint scars on the earth and a lingering sense of hopeful endeavour. Today, the economy of Andrews remains firmly rooted in the land, with grazing still a dominant force, and the subtle scent of eucalypt oil from the processing of local timber adding another layer to the air's complex perfume. The few notable buildings that comprise the heart of Andrews, often constructed from local stone, seem to absorb the persistent sunlight, their weathered facades bearing silent witness to the generations who have called this enduring place home.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Andrews, South Australia. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Andrews, in the Northern Areas Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Andrews includes the postcode (5454), telephone area code (08), and local government area (Northern Areas Council), with an ABS remoteness classification of Outer Regional Australia. 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 Andrews is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
