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 Mount Cooke, 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 Mount Cooke.
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.

Mount Cooke rises as a stark, ancient sentinel against the vast, pale sky of the Western Australian wheatbelt. It lies 49.0 km south-east of Gosnells, WA (from Gosnells, WA: bearing 131°T), and is situated 22.8 km east of Jarrahdale. Its weathered granite slopes, dusted with the ochre of the soil, are etched with the patient work of wind and rain, supporting hardy scrub and scattered eucalypts that whisper secrets to the passing breeze. The air here carries a dry, clean scent, a blend of sun-baked earth and the faint perfume of native flora, a testament to the relentless, honest climate. Below, the land unfolds in a patchwork of cultivated fields and undulating pastures, a quilt stitched by human hands onto the wilder canvas of the country, and the quality of light at dusk, when the sun bleeds amber and rose across the horizon, imbues the whole landscape with a profound, quiet beauty.
The history of this land, and indeed Mount Cooke itself, is deeply entwined with the agricultural pursuits that have shaped the Shire of Wandering. For generations, the fertile soils surrounding the massif have been coaxed into yielding golden harvests of wheat and barley, the lifeblood of the local economy. Grazing sheep and cattle also dot the broader landscape, their presence a gentle counterpoint to the more intense cultivation. While not a place of grand historical monuments, the enduring spirit of the pioneers who carved a life from this often-challenging terrain is palpable, a quiet resilience reflected in the sturdy farmhouses and the unhurried pace of life. The very character of Mount Cooke is one of steadfast endurance, a natural landmark that has witnessed the ebb and flow of seasons and human endeavor, its enduring presence a constant in the ever-changing human narrative.

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 Mount Cooke is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
