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 Winninowie, 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 Winninowie.
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.

Winninowie unfurls itself across a landscape painted in ochre and muted greens, where the earth, baked by a relentless sun, cracks into intricate patterns like ancient pottery. It lies 233.9 km north-north-west of Gawler, SA (from Gawler, SA: bearing 340°T), and is situated 10.9 km south-south-east of Stirling North. The air here carries a dry, mineral scent, a whisper of the vast, unpeopled spaces that stretch towards the horizon, broken only by the stark silhouettes of hardy saltbush and the occasional, stoic acacia. The land itself feels ancient, a patient observer of seasons and shifting skies, its contours gently rolling towards the distant shimmer of Spencer Gulf, a colour that deepens from pale turquoise at the shore to an intense, brooding sapphire. Even the light seems to possess a unique quality, especially as the day wanes, casting long, theatrical shadows that lend a dramatic depth to the otherwise understated terrain.
The history of Winninowie is entwined with the pastoral ambitions of early settlers, drawn by the promise of grazing land, though the reality often demanded a resilience forged in scarcity. Sheep stations, some still operating with a quiet persistence, dot the wider district, their weathered woolsheds standing as silent monuments to generations of hard yakka. The local economy, while historically reliant on the hardy sheep that roam these semi-arid plains, has also seen the quiet hum of agricultural endeavour, with small pockets of cultivation coaxed from the recalcitrant soil. Today, Winninowie remains a place where the pace of life is dictated less by the clock and more by the subtle shifts of the seasons, a character that draws travellers seeking a respite from the clamour of busier centres, a place to breathe in the vastness and feel the enduring spirit of the land.

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