Explore Wattle Hill, Victoria, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Wattle Hill, 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 Wattle Hill, 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 Wattle Hill.
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.

Wattle Hill unfurls across a landscape of patient, rolling country, where the earth breathes a scent of dry grass and ancient stone. It lies 78.6 km east-south-east of Warrnambool, VIC (from Warrnambool, VIC: bearing 123°T), and is situated 26.0 km south-east of Port Campbell. The horizon is a soft, blurred line, often softened further by the hazy gold of the afternoon sun, broken only by the stoic shapes of scattered gum trees and the occasional glint of corrugated iron on distant farm buildings. The air here carries a quiet stillness, a quality that seems to absorb sound, leaving only the whisper of wind through tussocks and the faint, industrious hum of insects. The land itself feels worn smooth by generations of weather and use, a gentle topography that invites the eye to wander, to trace the subtle contours of hills that rise and fall like the slow breath of a sleeping giant.
This part of the Corangamite Shire has always been tied to the land, its character shaped by the enduring pursuit of agriculture and grazing. The rich, dark soil, a legacy of volcanic activity from millennia past, has yielded bountiful harvests for generations, supporting families and fostering a deep, ingrained connection to the seasons and the earth's rhythms. While the primary economy has long been rooted in sheep and cattle, the surrounding areas have also seen a diversification into viticulture, with small vineyards emerging to take advantage of the unique climate. The history of Wattle Hill is a quiet one, marked by the steady progress of settlers and the persistent effort of those who worked this country, a story told not in grand monuments but in the enduring resilience of the land and its people.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Wattle Hill, 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 Wattle Hill, in the Corangamite Shire local government area.
Detailed location data for Wattle Hill includes the postcode (3237), telephone area code (03), and local government area (Corangamite Shire), with an ABS remoteness classification of Outer Regional Australia. 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 Wattle Hill is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
