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 Toorongo, 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 Toorongo.
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.

Toorongo rests on the northern slopes of the Baw Baw plateau, a landscape sculpted by ancient volcanic activity and softened by the passage of seasons. It lies 60.6 km north-west of Traralgon, VIC (from Traralgon, VIC: bearing 321°T), and is situated 26.9 km north-north-east of Neerim South. Here, the air carries the crisp scent of damp earth and eucalypt, a constant reminder of the surrounding forests that climb towards the higher reaches. Rolling hills, stitched with the vibrant greens of pasture and the darker hues of pine plantations, descend into valleys where creeks, fed by the plateau's generous rainfall, carve their patient way. The light, particularly in the late afternoon, possesses a peculiar softness, as if filtered through a fine veil of pollen, casting long, gentle shadows that stretch across the paddocks and lend a quiet dignity to the land. The very character of the place seems to be one of understated resilience, a quiet strength drawn from the enduring rhythms of the natural world.
The history of Toorongo is deeply entwined with the land, its early days marked by the arduous efforts of selectors who cleared small plots for farming and grazing. While the promise of gold once shimmered briefly in nearby gullies, it was the fertile soil and the reliable water that ultimately sustained the region, fostering a steady, if not spectacular, agricultural economy. Today, the character of Toorongo remains defined by its working farms and the quiet hum of rural life, a place where the seasons still dictate the pace and the neighbouring properties often share more than just a fence line. The local school, a modest but vital centre, serves as a focal point for the scattered families, a place where the future of this enduring corner of the shire is quietly being nurtured.

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