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 Tiddy Widdy Beach.
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.

Tiddy Widdy Beach exists as a quiet sigh against the vastness of the Spencer Gulf, a curving armature of ochre sand meeting water that shifts from palest jade to deep sapphire. It lies 76.9 km west-north-west of Gawler, SA (from Gawler, SA: bearing 286°T), and is situated 5.4 km north-east of Ardrossan. The air here carries the sharp, clean tang of salt and the fainter, dry perfume of sun-baked scrub, a scent that clings to everything like the fine, pale dust that settles on the weathered fences and the hulls of parked dinghies. Low, scrubby vegetation, resilient and tenacious, clings to the gentle rise of the land behind the beach, its muted greens and greys a subtle counterpoint to the brilliance of the sky. The rhythm of the waves, a constant, hushed shushing, is the dominant sound, punctuated only by the occasional cry of a seabird or the distant drone of a fishing boat returning to harbour.
The history of Tiddy Widdy Beach is etched not in grand monuments, but in the quiet persistence of those who have made their living from its shores. For generations, the waters have yielded their bounty, supporting a modest fishing industry that continues to this day, its catches destined for local tables and neighbouring markets. The land, though sparse, has also been coaxed into providing, with sheep grazing on the tough native grasses, their wool a vital export for the region. While Tiddy Widdy Beach itself might lack dramatic landmarks, its character is defined by this enduring relationship with the sea and the soil, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit in a place where the elements hold sway. The light here, particularly as the day wanes, casts a warm, golden hue over the sand and the water, a fleeting beauty that speaks of the deep connection between the land and its people.

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 Tiddy Widdy Beach is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
