Explore Yamba, South Australia, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Yamba, 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 Yamba, 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.

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 Yamba.
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.

Yamba unfurls itself along the coast, a sun-drenched tapestry where the Clarence River estuary kisses the Pacific Ocean. It lies 112.8 km west of Mildura, VIC (from Mildura, VIC: bearing 265°T), and is situated 20.4 km south-east of Renmark. The air here carries the perpetual tang of salt, a constant reminder of the vast blue expanse that shapes its character. Low-slung buildings, painted in cheerful blues and whites, cluster around a working harbour, their rooftops softened by the warm, diffused light that spills across the land. The surrounding landscape is a gentle swell of verdant hills, fringed by dense coastal scrub and punctuated by the distinctive green of sugar cane fields that stretch towards the horizon, a quiet testament to the fertile earth. Evenings here are often painted with hues of apricot and rose, the sky deepening to a velvety indigo as the stars begin their silent, brilliant procession.
The history of Yamba is deeply entwilled with the Clarence River, a vital artery for trade and settlement since early colonial times. Its fortunes have ebbed and flowed with the fortunes of the river and the sea, its economy once dominated by timber milling and fishing, and now embracing tourism with open arms. The iconic lighthouse stands sentinel on the headland, a silent witness to generations of fishermen and travellers who have found solace and sustenance in this sheltered harbour. Today, Yamba thrives on the bounty of its waters, with a vibrant seafood industry contributing to its lively atmosphere, and the neighbouring farms still yield a rich harvest. The town itself hums with a quiet energy, a place where the pace of life feels dictated by the tides and the sun, a friendly welcome extended to those who wander its shores.

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