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 Hotham Heights, 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 Hotham Heights.
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.

Hotham Heights is a realm where the sky seems to breathe a colder, thinner air. It lies 100.0 km south-south-east of Wodonga, VIC (from Wodonga, VIC: bearing 166°T), and is situated 11.1 km west-north-west of Dinner Plain. The landscape here is a study in resilience, a dramatic sweep of granite peaks and alpine meadows that wear the snow like a regal cloak for much of the year. Jagged ridgelines, softened by the passage of millennia, plunge into shadowed valleys cloaked in hardy eucalypt forests, their branches often dusted with frost even in the shoulder seasons. The very stones underfoot seem to hold a deep, ancient chill, and the wind, a constant companion, whispers tales of endurance through the gnarled trunks of snow gums. During the brief, vibrant summer, the alpine plains explode with a riot of wildflowers, their delicate colours a stark, beautiful contrast to the stern grandeur of the surrounding mountains, and the light, especially in the late afternoon, possesses a crystalline clarity, painting the distant peaks in hues of rose and violet.
The story of Hotham Heights is intrinsically tied to the ruggedness of its terrain, a place that has drawn travellers and those seeking to conquer its heights for generations. Historically, this region was a crucial, if challenging, thoroughfare for packhorses carrying wool and supplies between the settled districts and the burgeoning goldfields. The local economy today is almost entirely defined by its identity as a premier alpine resort, a winter playground that hums with activity from the first snowfall to the last melt. Skiing and snowboarding are the lifeblood of Hotham Heights, attracting thousands each season, and the infrastructure supporting this tourism – lodges, restaurants, and retail outlets – forms the backbone of its economic character. Yet, beneath the veneer of winter sport, a deep connection to the natural environment persists; the surrounding national parks, offering hiking and exploration in warmer months, are a constant reminder of the wild beauty that underpins Hotham Heights' enduring appeal.

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 Hotham Heights is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
