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 Jindivick, 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 Jindivick.
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.

Jindivick rests in a green fold of the Baw Baw Shire, a place where rolling hills, carpeted in pasture and the darker hues of eucalypt forests, tumble towards the distant, hazy peaks of the Great Dividing Range. It lies 36.3 km east of Pakenham, VIC (from Pakenham, VIC: bearing 82°T), and is situated 14.3 km north-north-west of Warragul. The air here carries a clean, cool scent, a mingling of damp earth and the sweet perfume of flowering gorse that spills over fences like sunshine. Fat, contented Friesian cattle dot the landscape, their black and white coats stark against the verdant slopes, and winding lanes, often unsealed, snake between paddocks, hinting at a quiet, self-contained existence. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-moody Gippsland skies, possesses a peculiar, almost liquid quality, illuminating the dew-kissed grass with an ethereal glow before the clouds gather again, casting long, dramatic shadows.
The story of Jindivick is one woven from the hardy threads of dairy farming and the patient cultivation of the land. For generations, families have worked these rich soils, their lives dictated by the seasons and the milking cycles, a rhythm that still pulses beneath the surface of this tranquil locality. While the days of pioneering hardship have softened, the agricultural heart of Jindivick beats strong, with dairies and grazing properties forming the backbone of its modest economy. This enduring connection to the earth is not just an economic reality; it’s a cultural touchstone, fostering a grounded, resilient character among its inhabitants. The occasional traveller might catch a glimpse of a weathered farmhouse, its verandah a stoic sentinel against the elements, or hear the distant bleating of sheep carried on the wind, each sound a whisper of Jindivick’s long and unpretentious history.

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