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 Dennington, 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 Dennington.
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.

Dennington settles into the landscape with a quiet certainty, a cluster of homes and businesses spread across rolling country that slopes gently towards the coast. It lies 5.7 km west-north-west of Warrnambool, VIC (from Warrnambool, VIC: bearing 287°T), and is situated 10.6 km south-east of Koroit. The air here carries a subtle dampness, a reminder of the proximity to the Southern Ocean, and the light often possesses a milky, diffused quality, particularly on overcast days. Fields of green pasture, punctuated by the darker shapes of scattered gums and pines, stretch in every direction, a patchwork quilt stitched by fences and hedgerows. The terrain, while not dramatic, offers a pleasing, undulating character, a landscape that has been shaped by time and the patient hand of agriculture rather than geological upheaval.
The history of Dennington is deeply entwined with the rich agricultural lands of the western district, a place where dairying and grazing have long formed the backbone of its economy. Early settlers, drawn by the fertile soil, established farms that have, in many cases, remained in family hands for generations, fostering a strong sense of continuity. The local school, a modest but vital hub, serves as a focal point for the community, a place where children learn about the land and their place within it. While not a bustling centre, Dennington possesses a distinct character, a quiet resilience forged by the cycles of the seasons and the steady work of its inhabitants, a place where the rhythm of life is dictated by the needs of the land and the close-knit bonds of its neighbours.

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 Dennington is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
