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 Narrawong, 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 Narrawong.
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.

Narrawong rests in the gentle embrace of Victoria's southwestern coast, a place where the land spills into the Southern Ocean with a quiet grace. It lies 69.8 km west-north-west of Warrnambool, VIC (from Warrnambool, VIC: bearing 282°T), and is situated 13.7 km south-south-east of Heywood. The air here carries the scent of salt and damp earth, a constant reminder of the restless sea and the fertile ground that sustains it. Rolling hills, softened by time and the persistent coastal winds, give way to broader plains, their colours shifting with the seasons from the deep greens of spring to the burnished golds of late summer. The Glenelg River, a ribbon of blue, meanders through this landscape before meeting the ocean, its presence shaping the very character of Narrawong, offering both a haven and a pathway. The light at dusk here possesses a particular tenderness, a pale gold that lingers on the horizon long after the sun has dipped below the rim of the world, painting the sky in hues of rose and lavender.
The story of Narrawong is intrinsically linked to the land and its bounty, a narrative woven from the threads of agriculture and the sea's enduring influence. For generations, this coastal strip has been a place of grazing, with sheep and cattle dotting the paddocks, their presence a familiar sight against the backdrop of the ocean. The river itself has long been a source of sustenance and transport, its waters once plied by vessels that connected Narrawong to neighbouring settlements and the wider world. While the echo of more robust port activity has faded, a spirit of self-reliance and a connection to the natural world remain palpable. The local economy now finds its footing in a blend of agricultural pursuits and the quiet allure of tourism, drawing visitors to its beaches and the serene beauty of the Glenelg River National Park. The rhythm of life in Narrawong is one of measured progress, where the enduring cycles of nature dictate the pace, and the sea's vastness offers a constant perspective.

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