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 Nowa Nowa, 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 Nowa Nowa.
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.

Nowa Nowa rests in the embrace of East Gippsland's rolling hills, a quiet settlement where the air carries the scent of eucalypt and damp earth. It lies 142.0 km east-north-east of Traralgon, VIC (from Traralgon, VIC: bearing 67°T), and is situated 13.6 km east of Bruthen. The land here is a study in subtle greens and browns, a landscape shaped by gentle slopes that lead down to the meandering waters of the Genoa River and its tributaries. Sunlight, when it breaks through the often-overcast skies, paints the gum trees in shades of honey and gold, and the very stillness of the place seems to hum with the quiet industry of nature. The roads that wind through the surrounding country are often unsealed, a reminder of the remoteness that defines much of this region, and the sky above feels vast and boundless, stretching its blue canvas over the scattered farms and patches of bushland.
The history of Nowa Nowa is tied to the land's bounty and the determination of those who sought to harness it. Once a hub for timber milling, the echoes of that industrious past can still be felt in the sturdy, unpretentious buildings that line its main street, and the ghosts of logging tracks still whisper through the surrounding forests. The local economy now leans more towards agriculture and grazing, with hardy sheep and cattle dotting the paddocks, and a growing appreciation for the natural beauty that draws travellers seeking a respite from the hurried world. The nearby Colquhoun State Forest offers a haven for bushwalkers and nature lovers, its trails leading to hidden creeks and panoramic viewpoints, and the annual country fair, a modest affair, still brings the community together in a celebration of rural life and shared heritage.

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