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 Willow Grove, Victoria, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views.

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 Willow Grove.
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.

Willow Grove unfurls across a landscape where the Baw Baw plateau begins its gentle descent towards the Latrobe Valley, a place where rolling hills, cloaked in a patchwork of emerald pastures and darker stands of native bush, meet the sky in a soft, hazy embrace. It lies 34.0 km west-north-west of Traralgon, VIC (from Traralgon, VIC: bearing 294°T), and is situated 13.0 km north-west of Moe. The air here carries the clean scent of damp earth and eucalypt, a subtle perfume deepened by the occasional whisper of woodsmoke from distant hearths. Here, the land is not so much sculpted as it is patiently shaped by the slow crawl of seasons, its contours softened by a persistent, silvery mist that often clings to the hollows in the early morning, lending a dreamlike quality to the awakening day. Distant ridgelines, softened by distance and the ever-present atmospheric haze, suggest a wilder country beyond, a reminder of the vastness that lies just over the horizon.
The story of Willow Grove is one of quiet resilience, its roots reaching back to the early days of pastoral settlement, when hardy pioneers carved out a living from this fertile, yet often challenging, terrain. The economy, for generations, has been tied to the land, with sheep and cattle grazing forming the backbone of its prosperity, their wool and meat finding their way to markets far beyond the immediate vicinity. While the echoes of a more robust agricultural past still resonate, a growing appreciation for the local character and natural beauty has begun to draw a different kind of visitor, one seeking the unhurried pace and genuine hospitality that defines Willow Grove. The nearby Tarra-Bulga National Park, a sanctuary of towering fern gullies and ancient trees, stands as a silent guardian of the region's natural heritage, offering a cool, verdant counterpoint to the sun-drenched paddocks that define much of the local vista.

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 Willow Grove is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
