Explore Cape Conran, Victoria, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Cape Conran, VIC 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 Cape Conran, Victoria, 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).

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 Cape Conran.
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.

Cape Conran is a locality in the East Gippsland Shire local government area of Victoria, Australia. The locality covers an area of 13.8 km². It lies approximately 330 km east of Melbourne. Cape Conran is located at 37.7896°S, 148.7172°E. It observes Australian Eastern Time (AEST/AEDT). Postcode: 3888. The Australian Bureau of Statistics classifies the area as Outer Regional Australia.
Cape Conran unfurls itself along the southeastern edge of Victoria, a rugged coastline where the Tasman Sea gnaws at ancient sandstone. It lies 197.9 km east-north-east of Traralgon, VIC (from Traralgon, VIC: bearing 77°T), and is situated 3.2 km south-south-west of Marlo. The air here carries a perpetual tang of salt and damp earth, a bracing perfume that clings to everything. Heathlands, ablaze with the muted purples and golds of native wildflowers, tumble down towards dramatic bluffs and hidden coves, their sandy floors smoothed by countless tides. The wind, a constant companion, sculpts the stunted coastal scrub, bending it into tenacious, wind-swept forms that speak of resilience. Beyond the immediate scrub, the land rises into rolling hills cloaked in eucalypt forests, their bark a mosaic of greys and browns, the dappled sunlight filtering through their dense canopy a soft, shifting luminescence. The very light here, especially in the late afternoon, seems to thicken, turning the ocean into a sheet of hammered bronze and casting long, indigo shadows across the land.
The history of Cape Conran is a story etched in the grain of the land, a narrative shaped by the sea and the enduring spirit of those who have called it home. For millennia, Indigenous custodians walked these shores, their presence a quiet echo in the rustle of the wind through the tea-trees. Later, European settlers arrived, drawn by the promise of timber and the bounty of the sea, establishing a modest economy built on fishing and small-scale agriculture. The character of Cape Conran is one of quiet perseverance; the pace of life is dictated less by the clock and more by the ebb and flow of the tides and the slow turn of the seasons. While tourism has grown, bringing a gentle influx of visitors seeking the wild beauty of its national park and the pristine quality of its beaches, the heart of Cape Conran remains rooted in its natural grandeur and the simple, honest toil of its inhabitants. The distinctive granite outcrops, weathered by the relentless surf, stand as silent sentinels, bearing witness to the passage of time and the enduring allure of this wild corner of the coast.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Cape Conran, Victoria. 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 Cape Conran, in the East Gippsland Shire local government area.
Detailed location data for Cape Conran includes the postcode (3888), telephone area code (03), and local government area (East Gippsland Shire), with an ABS remoteness classification of Outer Regional 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 Cape Conran is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
