Explore Virginia, South Australia, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Virginia, 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 Virginia, 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).
Drag the map to pan to any area of South Australia or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Virginia and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Virginia.
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.

Virginia rests on a low-lying plain, a landscape etched by the subtle hand of water, where the earth, a rich ochre under the vast South Australian sky, slopes gently towards distant, hazy horizons. It lies 17.5 km west-south-west of Gawler, SA (from Gawler, SA: bearing 242°T), and is situated 13.0 km north-north-west of Parafield Gardens. The air here carries a unique weight, a blend of the sun-baked earth and the faint, ever-present breath of the nearby coast, a whisper of salt that softens the sharp edges of the day. Sparse stands of drought-hardy gums punctuate the fields, their silver-green leaves rustling a dry song in the persistent breeze, and in the late afternoon, the light bleeds across the land in long, golden streaks, painting the sparse vegetation in hues of amber and russet.
This is a place where the legacy of agriculture is written into the very soil, a history of diligent cultivation that has shaped Virginia into a vital hub for horticultural produce, particularly its famed market gardens and vineyards. The economy here is a testament to the persistent efforts of generations who coaxed bounty from this often-challenging terrain, their labour evident in the neat rows of crops that stretch across the plain and the ripening grapes that promise future vintages. The local character is one of quiet industry, a community that understands the rhythms of the seasons and the rewards of patient, hands-on work, a feeling amplified by the unassuming presence of the old railway station, a silent sentinel to a time when goods and travellers moved through Virginia on a different pulse.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Virginia, 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 Virginia, in the City Of Playford local government area.
Detailed location data for Virginia includes the postcode (5120), telephone area code (08), and local government area (City Of Playford), with an ABS remoteness classification of Major Cities of 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 Virginia is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
