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 Badgebup.
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.

Badgebup rests in a landscape of gentle contours, where the rich, red earth of the Western Australian Wheatbelt rolls out under a sky that can shift from the deepest sapphire to a bruised, storm-laden grey in mere hours. It lies 156.4 km north of Albany, WA (from Albany, WA: bearing 0°T), and is situated 30.3 km east-north-east of Katanning. The air here carries the dry, sweet scent of sun-baked stubble and the faint, earthy perfume of eucalypts, a constant reminder of the vast natural world that frames the scattered homesteads. Across the land, the greens of developing crops and the tawny golds of resting pastures create a patchwork quilt, a testament to the persistent efforts of those who work this soil. The silence, when it falls, is profound, broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the keen cry of a wedge-tailed eagle circling high above.
The story of Badgebup is intimately tied to the land's bounty, a history shaped by the cycles of wheat and wool that have sustained its inhabitants for generations. This region, part of the broader Katanning district, has long been a stronghold of agricultural enterprise, its economy built on the sweat of farmers and the steady rhythm of the seasons. While the grander narratives of larger towns often overshadow its quiet existence, Badgebup holds its own distinct character, a place where neighbours know each other's names and the pace of life is dictated by the demands of the farm rather than the ticking clock of urban bustle. The echoes of earlier pioneers, who carved livelihoods from this seemingly untamed country, still resonate in the enduring spirit of resilience and self-reliance that defines Badgebup.

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