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 Creightons 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 Creightons 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.

Creightons Creek winds its way through a landscape that speaks of patient earth and the subtle shifts of seasons. It lies 55.2 km south of Shepparton, VIC (from Shepparton, VIC: bearing 170°T), and is situated 11.7 km south-south-west of Euroa. The land here, a mosaic of rolling hills and flatter plains, is painted in hues of dry ochre and vibrant green, depending on the year's rainfall. Gum trees, their bark peeling like ancient parchment, stand sentinel over paddocks where the air often carries the faint, sweet scent of dry grass and the distant bleating of sheep. The sky above Creightons Creek can be a vast, breathtaking canvas, particularly at dusk, when the fading light catches the dust motes dancing in the air, transforming the ordinary into something akin to liquid gold. The very texture of the soil, a rich, dark loam in places, hints at the deep history of this country.
The story of Creightons Creek is one of persistent endeavour, a quiet unfolding of lives tied to the land. Early settlers, drawn by the promise of fertile soil and opportunity, shaped this place with plough and hand, establishing a tradition of farming and grazing that continues to define its economy. While the boom times of gold mining are a distant echo, the legacy of those who sought their fortune beneath the earth can still be glimpsed in the contours of the land and the resilience of its people. Today, the local economy is largely supported by agriculture, with sheep and cattle grazing forming a cornerstone, complemented by smaller ventures that cater to a growing appreciation for local produce and artisanal goods. The rhythm of life in Creightons Creek is a gentle one, a steady beat dictated by the turning of the earth and the changing light, a place where neighbours still know each other’s names and the quiet hum of activity is as much a part of the landscape as the waterways themselves.

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