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 Oakford.
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.

Oakford rests on the edge of a landscape that breathes with the subtle scent of jarrah and the distant murmur of country roads. It lies 13.8 km south of Canning Vale, WA (from Canning Vale, WA: bearing 177°T), and is situated 14.9 km south-south-west of Gosnells. Here, the land slopes gently towards the south-west, a mosaic of undulating terrain where the richer, darker soils of the coastal plain begin their long, slow embrace of the broader Darling Scarp. Open paddocks, edged by the sturdy lines of fences and the scattered grace of gum trees, give way to stands of native bushland, their undergrowth a dense tapestry of ferns and flowering shrubs that catch the afternoon sun in a thousand tiny glints. The air, especially as dusk softens the edges of the day, carries a remarkable clarity, a stillness that allows the calls of unseen birds to echo with a surprising fullness.
The history of Oakford is deeply entwined with the agricultural pulse of the region, a place where the clearing of land for grazing and cultivation has shaped its character over generations. Dairy farms, once a cornerstone of its economy, have gradually shifted towards more diverse pastoral pursuits, while the proximity to Perth has fostered a growing residential presence, drawing those seeking a quieter life without sacrificing accessibility. The legacy of early settlers, who laboured to carve a living from this fertile ground, is still visible in the weathered farmhouses and the enduring spirit of self-reliance that defines Oakford’s local identity. It’s a place where the day unfolds at a pace dictated by the seasons and the quiet hum of rural life, a subtle counterpoint to the bustling energy of the nearby city.

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