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 Manifold 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 Manifold 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.

Manifold Heights rises from the Geelong plain with a gentle, almost imperceptible swell, its streets tracing contours that offer glimpses of the distant Corio Bay. It lies 2.9 km west-north-west of Geelong, VIC (from Geelong, VIC: bearing 296°T), and is situated 4.3 km north-north-east of Highton. The landscape here is not dramatic, but possesses a quiet resilience; rolling paddocks, often a soft, sun-bleached green or a rich, turned earth brown depending on the season, give way to the neat grids of suburban development. Mature gum trees, their bark a mosaic of grey and white, stand sentinel along the roads, their leaves rustling with a dry whisper in the prevailing breeze. The air itself carries a faint, briny tang, a reminder of the proximity to the coast, and the light at the end of the day often softens to a hazy gold, bathing the rooftops and gardens in a warm, diffused glow.
The story of Manifold Heights is one of gradual growth, an evolution from agricultural land to a thriving residential district. Historically, the area was part of the broader pastoral runs that characterised early European settlement in the region, its fertile soil supporting sheep and cattle grazing. Later, as Geelong expanded, Manifold Heights became a natural extension, its development spurred by the increasing demand for housing and the establishment of local amenities. The economy, while now largely driven by services and retail catering to its growing population, still echoes its agricultural past in the names of some streets and the enduring presence of larger, established properties on its fringes. It’s a place where the hum of everyday life – the distant drone of traffic from the main arterial roads, the laughter of children in parks – blends seamlessly with the quiet contemplation of the open sky.

Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Manifold Heights, in the Greater Geelong City local government area.
Detailed location data for Manifold Heights includes the postcode (3218), telephone area code (03), and local government area (Greater Geelong City), with an ABS remoteness classification of Major Cities of Australia. These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
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 Manifold Heights is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
