Explore Red Cliffs, Victoria, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Red Cliffs, VIC map and move it around to re-centre it. 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 Red Cliffs, Victoria, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Victoria or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Red Cliffs and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
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 Red Cliffs.
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.

Red Cliffs lies cradled by the vast, sun-baked plains of Victoria's northwest, a place where the earth breathes a dry, warm air. It lies 16.1 km south-south-east of Mildura, VIC (from Mildura, VIC: bearing 152°T), and is situated 10.9 km south-south-east of Irymple. The landscape here is a study in muted ochres and dusty greens, a sparse beauty that stretches towards a horizon often softened by a haze of heat. Low, scrubby vegetation clings to the sandy soil, punctuated by hardy trees that offer scant shade, their branches reaching like skeletal fingers towards the relentless sun. The very stillness of the air, broken only by the occasional chirping of unseen birds or the distant hum of machinery, lends a quiet intensity to the surroundings. Even the distant rise of the eponymous red cliffs, a geological punctuation mark against the flat expanse, seems to emanate a silent, ancient power, glowing with a deep, earthy hue as the day wears on.
This is a land shaped by water and the enduring spirit of those who have sought to coax life from its challenging embrace. Red Cliffs’ story is intrinsically linked to the mighty Murray River, a lifeline that has sustained agriculture and settlement for generations. The town owes its genesis to the ambitious soldier-settlement schemes following the Great War, when returning servicemen were encouraged to take up farming in these fertile, albeit arid, lands. The local economy, once dominated by wheat and wool, has since transformed, with the vibrant citrus orchards and vineyards that now flourish along the river flats becoming the beating heart of Red Cliffs. The colour of ripening oranges, a startling burst against the dusty palette, signals the bounty of this region, a testament to ingenuity and perseverance against the odds.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Red Cliffs, Victoria. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Red Cliffs, in the Mildura Rural City local government area.

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 Red Cliffs is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
