Explore St James, Victoria, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the St James, 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 St James, 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).

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 St James.
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.

St James lies in a landscape where the earth itself seems to breathe with a quiet, steady pulse. It lies 40.6 km west-north-west of Wangaratta, VIC (from Wangaratta, VIC: bearing 287°T), and is situated 27.1 km south-south-west of Yarrawonga. The land here rolls with a gentle generosity, a broad canvas of ochre soil stretching towards horizons softened by the hazy shimmer of heat. Patches of hardy scrub cling to the contours, interspersed with the muted greens of dry grasses that rustle with a whisper of the prevailing winds. The air, particularly in the late afternoon, carries a dry, clean scent, tinged with the subtle aroma of sun-baked earth and distant eucalyptus. This is a place where the sky feels vast and encompassing, a boundless vault of blue that deepens to a bruised violet as the sun begins its slow descent, casting long, languid shadows across the country.
The history of St James is etched not in grand monuments, but in the enduring spirit of those who have worked this land. For generations, the economy here has been woven from the threads of agriculture, with sheep and cattle grazing across the open paddocks, their presence a quiet testament to the pastoral heritage. Further afield, the rich soils have yielded their bounty of grains, the golden waves of wheat and barley a familiar sight during harvest. The railway, once a vital artery, brought life and connection to St James, its disused tracks now a silent reminder of journeys past. Today, the rhythm of life continues with a practical grace, a continuation of the steady industry that has shaped this corner of the Moira Shire, a place that holds its stories close, revealed not in pronouncements, but in the quiet resilience of its character and the enduring beauty of its sun-drenched plains.

This page provides a street and satellite map of St James, 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 St James, in the Moira Shire 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 St James is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
