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 Clifton Creek, Victoria, 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 Clifton Creek.
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.

Clifton Creek lies in a landscape that breathes the deep green of ancient forests and the soft, rolling contours of the land. It lies 114.3 km east-north-east of Traralgon, VIC (from Traralgon, VIC: bearing 62°T), and is situated 9.9 km north-north-east of Wy Yung. The air here carries the damp, earthy scent of the Australian bush, a fragrance intensified after a rain shower when the ferns unfurl and the fallen leaves release their stored perfumes. Sunlight, when it breaks through the dense canopy, doesn't so much dapple as it pools, illuminating patches of moss-covered rock and the rough bark of towering gums. The creek itself, the namesake of this place, is more a murmur than a roar, its water clear and cool as it winds its way through gullies, collecting fallen branches and the occasional smooth, grey stone. The character of Clifton Creek is one of quiet persistence, a place where the natural world dictates the pace, and the human presence is a respectful interloper.
The history of Clifton Creek is etched into the land by the toil of those who sought a livelihood from its rich, yet often challenging, terrain. Early settlers, drawn by the promise of fertile soil and timber, established a small but resilient community, their lives intertwined with the cycles of the seasons and the demands of farming and grazing. The echoes of their labour can still be felt in the old stone fences that snake across the hillsides and the weathered sheds that stand sentinel against the relentless advance of the bush. While the timber industry once played a significant role, the economy of Clifton Creek has diversified, with a growing appreciation for its natural beauty drawing visitors who seek a respite from busier lives. The local produce, often grown with a deep understanding of the land's quirks, finds its way to neighbouring markets, a quiet testament to the enduring connection between the people and their environment.

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 Clifton Creek is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
