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 Brownlow Ki, South Australia, 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 Brownlow Ki.
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.

Brownlow Ki rests on a wide, sweeping bay, its shoreline a gentle curve of pale sand meeting water the colour of a faded denim jacket. It lies 103.8 km south-west of Morphett Vale, SA (from Morphett Vale, SA: bearing 233°T), and is situated 2.0 km south-south-west of Kingscote. The land behind rises in low, rounded hills, cloaked in the muted greens and greys of saltbush and hardy coastal scrub, a landscape that feels ancient and unhurried. The air here carries a constant, subtle tang of salt, a reminder of the vast Southern Ocean stretching beyond the horizon, and in the late afternoon, the sunlight softens, casting a warm, golden hue across the weathered fences and the occasional cluster of hardy trees. The sky, often a brilliant, uncompromising blue, seems to hold a quiet immensity, a backdrop to the steady, enduring character of this place.
The history of Brownlow Ki is etched not in grand monuments, but in the enduring spirit of those who have made their living from its shores and its soil. Once a place of quiet contemplation for Indigenous peoples, its modern story began with settlers drawn to the fertile, if sometimes challenging, land. Sheep grazing has long been a cornerstone of the local economy, the wool a tangible link to the land, and the rhythm of the seasons dictates the lives of its farming families. More recently, a growing appreciation for its untamed beauty has drawn a different kind of visitor, seeking the solace of its open spaces and the honest simplicity of life at Brownlow Ki. The occasional gleam of a fishing boat heading out at dawn or returning with its catch speaks to a continuing connection with the sea, a vital, if sometimes capricious, provider.

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 Brownlow Ki is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
