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 Riddells Creek.
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.

It lies 12.2 km north-north-west of Sunbury, VIC (from Sunbury, VIC: bearing 346°T), and is situated 11.0 km north-east of Gisborne. The air here carries a particular cleanness, a whisper of the vast open spaces that lie beyond, yet it's also touched by the gentle bustle of a place that knows its own pace. Broad-leafed gums, their bark peeling like ancient parchment, stand sentinel over paddocks that stretch towards the horizon, their surfaces often shimmering with the morning's dew or the day's heat. The creek itself, a ribbon of silver depending on the season, threads its way through the terrain, its banks often fringed with native grasses that sway in the breeze, a subtle symphony of rustling life.
The history of Riddells Creek is etched into its very foundations, a story of hardy settlers who sought opportunity in this fertile pocket of the Macedon Ranges. Originally, the land was shaped by the traditional custodians, and their connection to this country continues to inform its spirit. Later, the promise of agriculture and grazing drew families, establishing a local economy built on the richness of the soil, a legacy still evident in the working farms and the quiet pride of its inhabitants. While the gold rushes of neighbouring areas may have faded, Riddells Creek found its enduring strength in the land, fostering a community that values its rural character and the unhurried rhythm of life, a distinctiveness that draws travellers seeking a breath of genuine country air.

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.
