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 Stony 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.

Stony Creek rests in a hollow where the land remembers its ancient shaping, a place of rolling hills that soften into the valley floor. It lies 58.0 km south-west of Traralgon, VIC (from Traralgon, VIC: bearing 221°T), and is situated 14.5 km north-west of Foster. The air here carries the damp, earthy scent of rich soil and the distant, sweet perfume of blooming wattles, particularly noticeable as the sun begins its slow descent, casting long, golden shadows across the paddocks. Here, the scattered homesteads, their roofs a patchwork of weathered tin and terracotta, are dwarfed by the vastness of the sky, a canvas of ever-changing blues and greys that presides over the quiet lives unfolding below. The very texture of the land, a deep, dark loam, promises fertility, a silent invitation to the farmer's plough and the grazier's flock.
The history of Stony Creek is etched into the land itself, a story of hard work and enduring spirit that began with the clearing of native bush for pasture and the establishment of dairy farms. For generations, the rhythm of Stony Creek has been dictated by the milking shed and the sale yards, a steady economy built on the bounty of the land. While agriculture remains its backbone, the quiet charm of Stony Creek has also begun to draw a different kind of visitor, travellers seeking a respite from busier centres, drawn by the promise of genuine country hospitality and the unspoiled beauty of its neighbouring forests. The old general store, its verandah a gathering place for local gossip and the exchange of news, stands as a silent witness to the enduring heart of this resilient corner of South Gippsland.

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 Stony Creek is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
