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 Halls Gap, 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.

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 Halls Gap.
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.

Halls Gap lies cradled by the ancient, rounded shoulders of the Grampians, a place where the dry, rust-coloured earth meets the stoic, eucalyptus-scented air. It lies 137.8 km north of Warrnambool, VIC (from Warrnambool, VIC: bearing 1°T), and is situated 23.1 km west-south-west of Stawell. The landscape here is a study in resilience, with granite outcrops pushing skyward like the weathered knuckles of giants, their surfaces softened by millennia of wind and rain. The valley floor, a mosaic of ochre and muted green, slopes gently towards the distant, hazy blue of the surrounding ranges. In the late afternoon, the sun dips low, casting long, bruised shadows that bleed across the land, and the air, usually sharp with the scent of dry grass and pine, takes on a peculiar sweetness, a fleeting moment of solace before the cooler night descends. The very stillness of this place seems to hum with an unspoken history, a quietude that speaks of ages before human presence.
The story of Halls Gap is intrinsically tied to the land it occupies, a narrative woven through the pastoral leases that first brought sheep to these rugged hills and the burgeoning tourism that now draws travellers seeking the wild heart of the Grampians. For generations, grazing has shaped the character of the surrounding country, the rhythmic cycle of the seasons dictating the pace of life for those who work the land. More recently, the town has become the primary gateway to the magnificent Grampians National Park, its shops and lodgings catering to a steady stream of visitors drawn by the promise of bushwalking trails, breathtaking vistas, and the chance to glimpse native wildlife. The economy here is a delicate balance, reliant on the bounty of the land and the steady flow of those who come to marvel at its stark, enduring beauty, a quiet testament to the enduring allure of this unique corner of Victoria.

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 Halls Gap is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
