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 Glen Wills, 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 Glen Wills.
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.

Glen Wills rests in a fold of the Victorian high country, where the air carries the sharp, clean scent of eucalypt and damp earth. It lies 94.6 km south-south-east of Wodonga, VIC (from Wodonga, VIC: bearing 147°T), and is situated 21.3 km east-north-east of Falls Creek. The landscape here is a rugged embrace of steep, forested slopes that plunge into narrow valleys, the dominant colour a deep, verdant green punctuated by the silvery bark of ghost gums and the occasional flash of a fern frond. The very ground feels ancient, a tapestry of moss-covered rocks and fallen timber, through which the Glen Wills Creek carves its determined path, its waters running clear and cold over smooth, dark stones. Sunlight, when it breaks through the dense canopy, falls in broad, golden shafts that illuminate the stillness, lending a hushed reverence to the surroundings.
The history of Glen Wills is etched deeply into its terrain, a legacy of hard-won gold that once drew hopeful prospectors to these remote reaches. Though the feverish rush has long since subsided, the echoes of that era remain, whispered by the rusting remnants of mining equipment and the weathered timbers of abandoned huts scattered amongst the trees. The local economy now hums with a quieter, more pastoral rhythm; grazing sheep and cattle are a common sight on the steeper inclines, their bells a gentle counterpoint to the rustling leaves. For the few who call Glen Wills home, life moves at a pace dictated by the seasons and the enduring strength of the surrounding wilderness, a profound connection to the land that is palpable in the stillness and the enduring beauty of the valley.

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 Glen Wills is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
