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 Boolarra South.
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.

Boolarra South unfolds across a gentle, rolling landscape where the rich, dark soil of Gippsland’s fertile plains gives way to the dappled shade of remnant eucalypt woodlands. It lies 34.4 km south-south-west of Traralgon, VIC (from Traralgon, VIC: bearing 213°T), and is situated 9.3 km south-south-east of Boolarra. The air here carries the clean, earthy scent of pasture and damp earth, particularly potent after a spring shower, and the light, especially in the late afternoon, has a honeyed quality that softens the edges of the scattered farmhouses and sheds. The land itself seems to breathe, a quiet exhalation of green fields punctuated by the silver glint of distant farm dams. Here, the horizon is a soft, unbroken line, a promise of more of the same, where the sky meets the earth in a seamless embrace.
The story of Boolarra South is inextricably linked to the pastoral heritage of the region, its economy built upon the sturdy foundations of dairy farming and beef grazing. For generations, the land has yielded its bounty, supporting families and shaping the character of the locality into one of quiet resilience and deep connection to the earth. While the days of large-scale timber milling have largely receded, the echoes of that industry can still be felt in the names of some of the older tracks and in the enduring presence of mature gum trees that stand sentinel over the paddocks. Today, Boolarra South continues its agricultural vocation, a place where the rhythm of the seasons dictates the pace of life, and where the community’s strength lies in its shared understanding of the land and its enduring traditions.

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 Boolarra South is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
