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 Woodend, 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 Woodend.
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.

Woodend rests comfortably on the western slopes of the Great Dividing Range, its streets lined with mature elm and plane trees that cast dappled shadows across the pavements in the late afternoon sun. It lies 26.1 km north-west of Sunbury, VIC (from Sunbury, VIC: bearing 322°T), and is situated 11.3 km north-west of New Gisborne. The air here carries a distinct crispness, a cool breath from the surrounding high country, and the landscape rolls with a generous, gentle undulation that hints at the deeper volcanic origins beneath. From the higher vantage points, one can see the land unfurl in a patchwork of green pastures and darker, forested ridges, a serene vista that speaks of enduring agricultural pursuits. The town itself possesses a quiet dignity, its historic buildings and well-tended gardens lending it a character that feels both settled and alive.
The history of Woodend is deeply entwined with the pastoral wealth of the Macedon Ranges, a region that drew settlers seeking fertile land for grazing and farming in the mid-19th century. The railway, a vital artery of commerce and connection, arrived in the 1860s, cementing Woodend's role as a commercial hub for the surrounding district and a welcome stop for travellers heading north. Today, while agriculture remains a significant contributor, the local economy has diversified to embrace tourism, drawn by the region's natural beauty, its burgeoning wine industry, and Woodend's own charm as a destination for weekend escapes and a place to savour a slower pace of life. The distinctive, almost melodic chime of the town's historic clock tower marks the passage of time, a subtle reminder of Woodend's enduring connection to its past and its steady journey into the future.

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