Explore Moockra, South Australia, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Moockra, 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 Moockra, 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.

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 Moockra.
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.

Moockra rests in a quiet embrace of rugged hills, where the ochre-red earth rises to meet a sky of boundless blue. It lies 252.5 km north of Gawler, SA (from Gawler, SA: bearing 352°T), and is situated 31.1 km east of Quorn. The landscape here is a study in subtle resilience, a place where hardy scrub and resilient grasses cling to slopes that fold and unfurl with an ancient grace. The air, especially as the sun begins its slow descent, carries a certain stillness, a profound quietude broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the rustle of dry leaves underfoot. The character of Moockra is etched into this very land, a testament to the enduring spirit of those who have made their home amidst its raw beauty, where the light lingers long on the weathered stone outcrops.
This locality, within the broader embrace of Mount Remarkable, has a history entwined with the pastoral endeavours that have shaped much of this region. For generations, sheep have been the lifeblood of Moockra, their wool a quiet commodity that has sustained families and fostered a deep connection to the land. The economy, while perhaps modest by grander measures, thrives on this connection, a slow and steady pulse that beats in time with the seasons. Travellers passing through might notice the sturdy, functional architecture of the homesteads, built to withstand the elements and speak of practical lives lived close to the earth. There are no grand pronouncements here, but rather a quiet dignity in the way the land and its people have learned to coexist, a distinctive rhythm of existence that defines Moockra.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Moockra, 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 Moockra, in The Dc Of Mount Remarkable local government area.
Detailed location data for Moockra includes the postcode (5432), telephone area code (08), and local government area (The Dc Of Mount Remarkable), 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 Moockra is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
