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 Brunswick East.
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.

The terrain here, while not dramatic, possesses a subtle grace, a gentle sloping towards the waterway that has shaped its identity for generations. Mature eucalypts, remnants of a wilder past, stand sentinel along the creek banks, their rough bark catching the late afternoon sun in a warm, golden hue. The air, particularly after a spring rain, carries a clean, earthy scent, mingling with the distant hum of traffic and the closer murmur of conversation spilling from open doorways. This is a place where the rhythm of the day is measured by the passing of the sun and the changing light on the brickwork of its older homes.
The history of Brunswick East is deeply entwined with the fertile lands that once stretched across this area, a landscape first nurtured by Indigenous peoples before European settlement saw it transformed by market gardens and dairies. The establishment of the tram line in the early 20th century heralded a new era, connecting this burgeoning suburb to the wider Melbourne, fostering a steady influx of migrants who brought with them a rich tapestry of cultures and culinary traditions.

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 Brunswick East is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
