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 Merricks North, 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 Merricks North.
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.

Merricks North rests against the gentle slopes that spill towards Western Port Bay, a landscape painted in the muted greens of pasture and the deeper hues of scattered woodland. It lies 12.7 km south of Mornington, VIC (from Mornington, VIC: bearing 176°T), and is situated 8.3 km south-south-east of Mount Martha. The air here, especially in the morning, carries a faint, briny tang from the distant coast, mingling with the earthy scent of damp soil and the sweet perfume of flowering gum. Rolling hills, softened by time and the persistent coastal breeze, create a patchwork of paddocks where sheep graze placidly, their white fleeces stark against the verdant terrain. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-present cloud cover, has a diffused, pearly quality, illuminating the dew-kissed grass and lending a soft glow to the weathered timber of farmhouses.
The history of Merricks North is deeply entwined with the cultivation of the land, its economy historically driven by dairy farming and apple orchards that once carpeted these hills. The fertile soil, a legacy of ancient volcanic activity, has always been its most valuable asset, drawing settlers who sought to harness its bounty. Today, while dairy remains, the character of Merricks North is increasingly shaped by its proximity to the burgeoning wine region of the Mornington Peninsula, with vineyards now claiming many of the prime slopes. Small-scale producers, often family-run operations, contribute to a distinct local identity, their cellar doors offering a taste of the region's evolving agricultural story. The quiet hum of tractors and the occasional distant bleating of sheep are the prevailing sounds, a gentle reminder of the enduring connection to the land that defines Merricks North.

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 Merricks North is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
