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 Stansbury, 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 Stansbury.
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.

Stansbury rests on the eastern shores of the Yorke Peninsula, a gentle curve of coastline where the land meets the Gulf St Vincent. It lies 73.1 km west-north-west of Morphett Vale, SA (from Morphett Vale, SA: bearing 290°T), and is situated 22.0 km east-south-east of Minlaton. The air here carries the subtle tang of salt, a constant reminder of the sea’s proximity, and the light often softens to a hazy gold as the day draws to a close, bathing the low-lying scrub and scattered coastal homes in a warm, diffused glow. The terrain slopes gradually towards the water, a landscape shaped by the prevailing winds and the tenacious grip of native grasses that carpet the sandy soil. Sheltered bays offer a placid surface to the water, a stark contrast to the more exposed stretches of the peninsula, and the distant hills, a low, blue smudge on the horizon, speak of a land that has weathered many seasons.
Historically, Stansbury has been a place of arrival and departure, its fortunes tied to the bounty of the sea and the fertility of the surrounding land. It began as a vital port for the export of agricultural produce, particularly wheat and barley, its jetties once bustling with the activity of ships loading their precious cargo. The quiet hum of the town today is a testament to a more relaxed pace, with tourism now playing a significant role, drawing visitors to its sandy beaches and calm waters for fishing and recreation. The remnants of its maritime past are still visible, a reminder of the industrious spirit that established Stansbury as a key hub, where the rhythm of the tides still dictates much of the local life, and the enduring legacy of the farmers and fishermen who shaped this coastal pocket is palpable.

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