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.

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 Boodarockin.
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.

It lies 253.3 km west of Kalgoorlie, WA (from Kalgoorlie, WA: bearing 264°T), and is situated 56.8 km west-north-west of Southern Cross. The country here is predominantly ironstone and laterite, giving rise to hardy native vegetation that clings to the contours of the land. Low-lying scrub, dotted with the silvery-green of mulga and the occasional resilient acacia, forms the dominant flora, punctuated by the skeletal grace of ancient, weathered eucalypts that stand sentinel against the vast horizon. The air, when the sun begins its descent, carries a faint, dry scent of dust and sun-baked earth, a subtle perfume that speaks of the land's enduring character. The silence itself feels palpable, broken only by the whisper of the wind through the sparse foliage or the distant cry of a bird of prey.
The story of Boodarockin is intrinsically tied to the pastoral and agricultural pursuits that have shaped its identity for generations. Sheep grazing and wheat farming form the backbone of the local economy, their seasons dictating the rhythm of life in Boodarockin.

History whispers in the quiet lanes, in the weathered timber of the old shearing sheds, and in the enduring sense of community that binds its inhabitants. While not a place of grand pronouncements, Boodarockin possesses a quiet dignity, a steadfastness that reflects the timeless cycles of the natural world and the enduring spirit of its people.

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