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 Point Turton, 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 Point Turton.
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.

Point Turton rests on the eastern edge of the Yorke Peninsula, a scatter of houses and jetties facing the vast, shimmering expanse of the Gulf St Vincent. It lies 110.3 km west of Morphett Vale, SA (from Morphett Vale, SA: bearing 280°T), and is situated 25.4 km south-west of Minlaton. The land here is a gentle surrender to the sea, a low-lying plain giving way to weathered cliffs that crumble into sandy coves, their colours muted by the persistent coastal sun. Salt-tolerant scrub, a hardy green against the ochre soil, clings to the undulating terrain, while the air, perpetually infused with the tang of brine and the distant cry of gulls, carries a quiet stillness. The water itself, a shifting palette of blues and greys, laps at the shoreline with a steady, rhythmic whisper, a constant reminder of the ocean's immense presence.
The story of Point Turton is deeply intertwined with the bounty of the sea and the resilience of those who have drawn sustenance from it. For generations, this harbour has been a focal point for fishing, its waters yielding a rich harvest that once sustained a small but industrious community. Evidence of this past lingers in the weathered timber of the old jetties and the quiet pride of local fishermen who still navigate these waters. Beyond the immediate coast, the land hints at an agricultural past, with neighbouring properties once dedicated to the cultivation of wheat and barley, the golden waves of grain a familiar sight under the vast South Australian sky. Today, Point Turton embraces a more leisurely pace, its charm now drawing visitors seeking the simple pleasures of sun-drenched days and the tranquil beauty of its coastal embrace.

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 Point Turton is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
