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 Eglinton.
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.

Eglinton unfolds across a gently undulating coastal plain, where the scent of salt mingles with the dry, earthy perfume of native scrub. It lies 35.0 km north-west of Ellenbrook, WA (from Ellenbrook, WA: bearing 306°T), and is situated 12.7 km north-north-west of Clarkson. The landscape is a study in muted colours – ochre soils, the dusty greens of hardy wattles and banksias, and the pale, bleached tones of the sky that often hangs vast and luminous. Sunlight here possesses a peculiar quality, particularly in the late afternoon, when it seems to soften, casting long, languid shadows that stretch across the sparsely populated expanses, giving the air a palpable, golden haze. The terrain, though not dramatically varied, offers a quiet resilience, a sense of land that has weathered countless seasons and patiently awaits the subtle shifts of the day.
The history of Eglinton is intrinsically tied to the broader agricultural development of this region, a story etched in the fertile, sandy soils that once supported extensive market gardens and orchards. For generations, the local economy was largely sustained by the bounty of the land, with produce finding its way to neighbouring urban centres. While the character of Eglinton has shifted with the encroaching suburban sprawl, remnants of its past linger in the names of streets and the enduring memory of fields that yielded their harvest under this expansive Western Australian sky. A distinctive feature is the way the coastal winds, carrying the tang of the Indian Ocean, rustle through the remaining pockets of native vegetation, a constant reminder of the sea’s proximity and its influence on the very air Eglinton breathes.

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