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.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Kirup, 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 Kirup.
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.

Kirup rests in a landscape where the rolling hills of the southwest begin to soften, a gentle easing of the terrain that hints at the fertile plains to come. It lies 51.2 km south-south-east of Bunbury, WA (from Bunbury, WA: bearing 148°T), and is situated 10.7 km north-west of Balingup. Here, the country exhales a scent of damp earth and eucalyptus, a perfume carried on breezes that rustle through the leaves of ancient jarrah and marri trees. The land slopes subtly, the paddocks a patchwork of greens and golds, interspersed with the darker, more rugged textures of bushland that cling to the hollows and ridges. Even at midday, a quietness pervades Kirup, a stillness broken only by the distant bleating of sheep or the occasional rumble of a ute heading towards the next homestead. The light, when it catches the dew-laden grass in the early morning, possesses a pearlescent quality, as if the very air has been polished to a soft sheen.
The story of Kirup is one of resilient pioneering and the enduring power of the land. Its early days were shaped by the timber industry, the vast forests providing the raw materials for a burgeoning colony, and the echoes of that era can still be felt in the sturdy character of the older buildings. Today, the economy of Kirup is primarily agricultural, a continuation of the farming traditions that have sustained it for generations, with sheep grazing on the verdant pastures and crops ripening under the generous sun. This is a place where the seasons dictate the rhythm of life, from the vibrant growth of spring to the golden harvest of summer, and the quiet introspection of winter. Kirup's identity is deeply entwined with the land it occupies, a place where the simple act of living feels connected to the ancient pulse of the earth.

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