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 Drummond Cove.
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.

Drummond Cove unfolds as a rugged coastline where ochre earth meets the relentless blue of the Indian Ocean. It lies 11.4 km north of Geraldton, WA (from Geraldton, WA: bearing 1°T), and is situated 13.9 km north of Mount Tarcoola. The land here is a study in raw, sun-bleached textures – weathered limestone cliffs tumble towards pockets of sand, and hardy scrub clings stubbornly to the slopes, its muted greens a stark contrast against the vibrant sky. A constant, bracing wind, carrying the briny tang of the sea, sculpts the landscape and whispers through the sparse vegetation, a persistent reminder of the ocean's proximity. The light, particularly in the late afternoon, casts long, dramatic shadows, transforming the familiar contours of the coast into something ancient and elemental, a place where the land feels both exposed and enduring.
The history of Drummond Cove is intrinsically linked to the maritime pulse of the broader region, a place that has long served as a vital point for coastal passage and resource gathering. Its economy, though not dominated by a single industry, has historically drawn strength from the sea, with ancillary support for fishing fleets and a growing appreciation for its natural beauty driving a modest tourism trade. The distinctive character of Drummond Cove lies in its unpretentious resilience; it is a place that has weathered the elements and the passage of time without succumbing to grand pronouncements, preferring instead a quiet dignity. The rhythm of life here is dictated by the tides and the seasons, a gentle cadence that allows for contemplation of the vast ocean horizon and the enduring spirit of the coastline.

Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
