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 Carbunup River, Western Australia, 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 Carbunup River.
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.

Carbunup River winds its way through a landscape of gentle slopes and fertile plains, a ribbon of life cutting through the south-west of Western Australia. It lies 17.5 km west-south-west of Busselton, WA (from Busselton, WA: bearing 249°T), and is situated 14.7 km west-south-west of West Busselton. The air here, especially in the early morning, carries a distinct freshness, a blend of damp earth and distant sea salt, a promise of the coastal breeze that often brushes the neighbouring countryside. Here, the land is a patchwork of rich, red soils, supporting verdant pastures and orchards, interspersed with stands of native marri and jarrah trees that stand sentinel against the wide, pale blue sky. The river itself, often a placid flow, reflects the surrounding greenery and the ever-changing moods of the Australian light, from the sharp clarity of midday to the softened hues of dusk.
The history of Carbunup River is deeply intertwined with the agricultural bounty of the region, a story of pioneering spirit and enduring connection to the land. For generations, its rich soils have yielded crops and supported grazing livestock, forming the backbone of a local economy that has always valued hard work and self-sufficiency. This enduring agricultural heritage is evident in the scattered farmhouses and the well-tended fields that stretch towards the horizon, a quiet testament to the generations who have called this place home. While farming remains central, the proximity to the coast also draws visitors, drawn by the natural beauty and the promise of a relaxed pace of life, adding a layer of tourism to the established character of Carbunup River.

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 Carbunup River is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
