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 Maroona, 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 Maroona.
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.

Maroona rests in a landscape shaped by the patient hand of time, where the undulating plains gradually begin to rise towards the distant Grampians. It lies 109.7 km north-north-east of Warrnambool, VIC (from Warrnambool, VIC: bearing 16°T), and is situated 21.2 km south-west of Ararat. The soil, a rich tapestry of ochre and deep brown, supports a hardy array of native grasses that shimmer under the expansive Victorian sky, their colours shifting from emerald after rain to a sun-bleached gold in drier spells. Here, the air carries the scent of dry earth and the subtle perfume of eucalyptus, a constant reminder of the wild country that presses in on the edges of settlement. The horizon is a clean, unwavering line, broken only by the occasional sturdy farmhouse or a cluster of wind-scoured trees standing sentinel against the prevailing winds, a quiet testament to the enduring spirit of the land.
The story of Maroona is deeply entwined with the pastoral heritage of the region, its early days marked by the establishment of sheep stations that grazed the vast, open country. While the echoes of those times are still felt in the scattered woolsheds and the timeless rhythm of agricultural life, the local economy has diversified, with pockets of cropping and a growing appreciation for the region's potential for viticulture, the cool climate proving surprisingly amenable to certain grape varietals. Travellers passing through Maroona often notice the distinct quietude, a deliberate pace that allows for an appreciation of the surrounding natural beauty, and the genuine warmth of its people, who understand the value of community in this wide, open space.

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