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

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 Parkholme.
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.

Parkholme is a locality in South Australia, Australia. It sits at an elevation of around 48 m above sea level. It lies approximately 105 km east of Adelaide. Parkholme is located at 35.0165°S, 139.7492°E. It observes Australian Central Time (ACST/ACDT).
Parkholme sits upon the flat, alluvial plains of the Adelaide basin, where the horizon is defined by the steady rise of the Mount Lofty Ranges to the east. It lies 80.8 km east of Mount Barker, SA (from Mount Barker, SA: bearing 85°T), and is situated 22.7 km north-west of Karoonda. The landscape here is defined by a suburban stillness, where wide, grid-aligned streets are softened by the presence of mature gums and the persistent, golden-hued light that bathes the bitumen during the final hours of the afternoon. Gardens spill over low fences, and the air carries a dry, eucalyptus-scented clarity that speaks of the proximity to the hills, grounding the architecture in a climate that demands resilience. It is a place where the suburban sprawl meets the memory of the creek lines that once carved their way toward the Sturt River, leaving behind a subtle, topographic memory in the dip and rise of the local parklands.
Parkholme reflects the post-war transition of the southern suburbs, evolving from the market gardens and orchards that once defined the productivity of the Adelaide plains into a residential heartland. The local economy is now anchored by proximity to higher education and major medical institutions, drawing a steady pulse of students and professionals who move through the streets with a quiet, purposeful energy. Notable for its access to the Sturt River trail, the locality maintains a connection to the natural hydrology of the region, providing a green corridor that allows the native birdlife to persist amidst the orderly houses. The rhythm of daily life here remains tethered to the changing seasons, marked by the shifting shadow of the escarpment and the enduring, utilitarian charm of mid-century brickwork that defines the character of the neighbourhood.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Parkholme, South Australia. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo.

Detailed location data for Parkholme includes the postcode, telephone area code (08). 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 Parkholme is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
