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 Carramar.
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.

Carramar unfolds across a landscape shaped by gentle slopes and the persistent whisper of the Indian Ocean’s proximity, even from some distance inland. It lies 18.9 km west-north-west of Ellenbrook, WA (from Ellenbrook, WA: bearing 293°T), and is situated 14.5 km north of Duncraig. The air here carries a faint, dry scent of eucalyptus and the subtle promise of salt, a common perfume in this part of the coast, where the earth, a rich ochre, meets a sky that often burns with an intensity that softens only at dusk. Broad streets, lined with established trees, offer a sense of ordered calm, a quiet dignity that speaks of deliberate planning rather than wild growth. The character of Carramar is one of understated permanence, a place that feels settled, where the light, particularly in the late afternoon, seems to linger, bathing the suburban streets in a warm, golden hue that makes even the most ordinary garden gate seem significant.
The history of Carramar is one of agricultural roots, a legacy still faintly discernible in the fertile soils that once sustained market gardens and orchards before the steady march of suburban development. This transformation, a common narrative along the Perth coast, has seen the local economy shift, with the demand for residential land and the growth of neighbouring commercial centres now defining its economic pulse. While large-scale farming has receded, the spirit of cultivation, perhaps, remains in the well-tended lawns and the vibrant colours of the bougainvillea that spill over fences. The area's distinctive character is further shaped by its connection to the broader City of Wanneroo, a region known for its diverse residential offerings and its access to the stunning natural attractions of the northern coastline, making Carramar a point of departure for those seeking both settled living and coastal adventure.

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