See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.

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 Badgerin Rock.
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.

Badgerin Rock rises from the undulating plains, a monolithic sentinel against a sky that seems to stretch to infinity. It lies 170.1 km north-east of Ellenbrook, WA (from Ellenbrook, WA: bearing 50°T), and is situated 60.8 km east of Wongan Hills. The earth here is the colour of dried blood, fissured and cracked by the sun's relentless gaze, supporting sparse, hardy vegetation that clings with fierce tenacity. Low, scrubby mallee eucalyptus dot the landscape, their silver-green leaves whispering secrets to the dry wind, while the air itself carries a faint, earthy perfume, a scent of dust and resilience. The horizon is a clean, sharp line, broken only by the occasional distant rise of land, and the silence is profound, broken only by the cicada's rasping song or the distant cry of a bird of prey circling overhead. In the late afternoon, the rock itself seems to absorb the day's heat, radiating a gentle warmth that lingers long after the sun dips below the edge of the world, painting the sky in hues of burnt orange and bruised purple.
The history of Badgerin Rock is etched into the very character of the land, a narrative woven from the sweat of early settlers and the enduring spirit of those who followed. This is a place where the economy has long been tethered to the soil, with vast paddocks of golden wheat stretching as far as the eye can see, a testament to the labour and dedication of generations of farmers. The grain, harvested and bagged, forms the lifeblood of Badgerin Rock, a vital link in the agricultural chain that feeds distant cities. Though the days of more intensive sheep grazing have softened, the echoes of that pastoral past can still be felt in the quiet hum of rural life. The distinctive, weathered granite outcrops, like Badgerin Rock itself, have long served as natural landmarks, guides for travellers navigating the vast, open country, and silent witnesses to the passage of time and the unfolding human story.

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 Badgerin Rock is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
