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 Murray-Sunset, 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 Murray-Sunset.
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.

Murray-Sunset unfolds across a vast expanse where the earth, a palette of ochre and pale gold, stretches towards a horizon that seems to melt into the very air. It lies 69.0 km south-west of Mildura, VIC (from Mildura, VIC: bearing 235°T), and is situated 70.5 km west-south-west of Irymple. The land here is a study in subtle resilience, a gentle undulation of ancient sand dunes softened by hardy, low-lying scrub and tenacious mallee eucalyptus, their silver-green leaves catching the light like a thousand tiny mirrors. The silence is profound, broken only by the rustle of dry grasses underfoot, the distant cry of a bird of prey, or the whisper of the wind as it sculpts the ever-shifting sands. Even the sunlight possesses a unique quality, a diffused, almost buttery glow that softens the edges of the landscape and lends a dreamlike aura to the afternoon.
The history of Murray-Sunset is deeply entwined with the ebb and flow of water, primarily the mighty Murray River, a lifeblood that carved its path through this arid country millennia ago. For centuries, Indigenous peoples have traversed these lands, their connection to the country evident in the ancient knowledge passed down through generations. European settlement brought a different rhythm, a struggle for sustenance that saw hardy pioneers attempt to tame the unforgiving terrain, establishing sheep stations and later, embracing the burgeoning agricultural potential that the river's proximity afforded. Today, while vast tracts remain dedicated to conservation, the local economy is still shaped by the land, with irrigated horticulture thriving in pockets, a testament to human ingenuity in coaxing life from the dry earth, and the enduring appeal of the region draws travellers seeking the stark beauty and profound quietude of this distinctive corner of Victoria.

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 Murray-Sunset is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
