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.

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 Cockaleechie.
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.

Cockaleechie unfolds across a landscape of low, sweeping plains, where the earth itself seems to exhale a dry, mineral scent under a vast, cerulean sky. It lies 262.7 km west-north-west of Adelaide, SA (from Adelaide, SA: bearing 286°T), and is situated 26.1 km north-west of Tumby Bay. The terrain is a subtle study in muted colours: the ochre of the soil, the pale gold of sun-bleached grasses, and the dusty grey-green of hardy saltbush and scattered native shrubs that cling tenaciously to the land. In the distance, the horizon is a soft, wavering line, sometimes punctuated by the dark, angular shapes of distant farmhouses or the shimmering heat haze that dances above the roads. The air here carries a palpable stillness, a quietude broken only by the whisper of the wind or the distant call of a bird, and the light, especially as the day begins to wane, can cast a warm, almost ethereal glow over the sparse vegetation, painting the land in shades of amber and rose.
The story of Cockaleechie is intrinsically linked to the hardy spirit of those who have sought to coax a living from this often unforgiving soil. Its origins, like many settlements in this region, are rooted in the pursuit of agriculture, with the broad, flat expanses of land proving suitable for sheep grazing and, in more recent times, cropping. The local economy, though modest, is a testament to resilience, with a focus on primary production that shapes the rhythm of life. While not a hub of grand institutions or bustling tourism, Cockaleechie possesses a quiet charm, a sense of enduring connection to the land and the traditions that have sustained it. The sparse population means that neighbours know each other, and a shared understanding of the challenges and rewards of life in this part of South Australia binds the community together, a subtle but strong thread in the fabric of Cockaleechie.

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